National Guard Aviation Technici Professional Expert

This gave me much more insight as to how to be a pilot, what it takes to live the life of an Army Rotary Wing Aviator. I was enthralled and immediately decided I could not suffer a part time contract to fly, I had to have the lifestyle and the opportunity of active duty. This created a timing problem as I was still fresh in a 6 year contract. I did not waste the time I had left; I focused on becoming the best soldier I could. Fueled by the expertise, dedication and experience of the aviators I have come across, I began requesting training above my level and consistently rising to the challenges of my superiors and performing above average. I surprised myself along the way, surpassing my own high expectations, and after appreciating every success I reset the bar higher than before. The struggles that have caused me to push back my timeline are not seen as regrets. Every struggle was beat. Every hurdle showed me how much more I am capable of. My desire and dedication hasn’t changed because of this but my understanding has; I would compare it to a child’s wild, superfluous dream turning into an adult’s strong, focused

According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the GI Bill specifically covers a trade school education, which is referred to as vocational and technical training programs. Below explores the details and benefits of the Post-9/11 Bill for students who want vocational training.

The United States Army Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps, abbreviated JROTC, was established by the National Defense Act of 1916. JROTC serves as a character and leadership development program for the United States’ high school students. High school students enrolled in JROTC are called “Cadets.” There are approximately 314,000 Cadets enrolled in JROTC in 1,731 high schools, drove by 4,000 retired Army Instructors. In the beginning, through the JROTC program, high schools were able to use federal military equipment and assign active duty military personnel as instructors for their classes. In 1964, the Vitalization Act opened JROTC up to the other branches of the military and also replaced most of the active duty instructors with retired members of the armed forces, who worked for and are cost shared by the schools. Title 10 of the U.S. Code declares that “the purpose of Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps is to instill in students in United States secondary educational

This law is really good to me especially when I was in the US Navy reserved. The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act is to protect the civilian employment of active and reserve military personnel in the United States when called to active duty. These law applies to all services in the military including reserved components. The USERRA clarifies that when a service member of the armed forces was called to active duty, he or she will retain their current job in the civilian sector and furthermore the position will be on hold until the service member is back from their active duty (USERRA, 2016). I can personally say that this law is good for service members who got activated especially for reservist personnel who were activated. When I was activated for two months active duty while in the reservist, my employer assured me that I will still get that position when I return from service. I felt reassured that I will keep my old job when I return from my detachment.

Military status protection covers the employment rights of military veterans and reservists. The two most important laws that protect the rights of veterans and reservists are the Vietnam Era Readjustment Assistance Act (VERA) of 1974 and the Uniformed Service Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) of 1994 (Mathis, Jackson, Valentine, & Meglich, 2017). In this paper we are going to focus on the most recent law that effect employers the USERRA.

The department’s leadership is responsible for providing appropriate manpower and resources to each mission using an increasingly tight budget, while also following strict laws for high priority missions, such as nuclear defense, which mandate both high levels of training and manpower (Air Education Training Command, 2015). Additionally, warfare technology has become incredibly advanced. Due to this complication, the educational and technical requirements for military service members and employees are steadily increasing.

I am in the Air National Guard and part of the 176th Wing. The two primary missions of the 176th Wing are airlift and search and rescue (to include civil search and rescue). This includes federal missions as well as state missions. My organization does not seek a profit but we do have competitors for our airlift and search and rescue capabilities.

Being a United States Army wife, I can validate the regulatory methods in which the Army enforces to ensure fair and equitable treatment for all service members. As a government agency, compliance is heavily monitored and resources are readily available for those who encounter discrimination. Gender, especially of women, is one of the most common forms of discrimination when determining promotional rank, participating in combat missions, and employment opportunities with salaries comparable to men (Rogers, 1990). The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) is designed to assist those who serve in the military, an opportunity to reintegrate back into civilian work and remain attached to the workforce (Karin, 2016). This law also provides protection from discrimination due to serving the military, and dismissing service members without a justifiable cause within a predetermined period of time, in which is typically 180 days (Karin, 2016). Returning to civility in itself can be traumatic for service members, and adding the barrier of discrimination causes even more harm. There are also laws that allow preference to veterans for admission to college and employment opportunities, to assist with the transition. These laws are an effort to ensure that veterans do not encounter discrimination when returning to civility. Also, due to limitations on utilizing education benefits within a specified timeframe, veterans risk losing benefits earned while sacrificing their lives for our country.

Tim is the go-to technical SME for GAE. His technical depth and aptitude enable him to assist in the delivery of government products that allow GAE to sustain year after year. Functional needs for the Option Year 9 award, Re-compete documentation including the PWS and IGCE, as well as the multiple requirements for CRB packets are all imperative to keep GAE up and operational. Tim's technical expertise and perspective added value to those products and the program's ability to continue serving the Army's tuition assistance needs.

I wanted to take the opportunity and convey my gratitude regarding the level of support received during the events leading up to and execution of WOBC Phase II Class 16-002 ALE to this point. The RCTD support staff, both in the stealth room and BMC, have been first class in every aspect. Their ability to adapt to mission requirement makes a challenging exercise seamless and allows us to focus our attention on training the Army's newest aviators. However limited that ability may be (myself and Mr. Oaks' ability), I believe with the help of your staff we were able to achieve a realistic, meaningful, and relevant environment for our class to learn. This level of professionally supported training sets the conditions necessary for these aviators

At a young age we are always asked the same questions. What is your name? How old are you? What do you want to be when you grow up? Answers for the last question include occupations such as, a Lawyer, a Doctor, a Princess, or an Astronaut. When I was asked throughout the years my answer always changed. When I was younger I wanted to be a lawyer, then a dentist, in later years I decided I was going to an astronomer or a graphic designer. As of senior year in high school I realized that I have always loved flying. I love being up in an airplane on my way to a new place ready to unravel new adventures. I’ve travelled by plane to the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, California, Texas, Florida, Arizona, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Now that I

Professionals in the United States Army stand apart from others engaged in particular careers in the civilian world. While many vocations contain some of the characteristics of professional, a lot of careers do not include all of the elements necessary to distinguish themselves as being as close to a professional as a United States soldier. Professionalism grows depending on the time and service they have in the Army. A professional has specialized knowledge and skill which can only be acquired through prolonged education and experience. Such skill and experience form the basis of objective standards of professional competence that separate the practicing professional from their peers and

This dual mission role has hampered focus and created confusion. One of the problems is that personnel are assigned a travel mission they have not been formally trained to accomplish. Personnel are assigned radio technician responsibilities and are required to learn based solely through agency on-the-job training. This unique approach to manning shortfalls drives the need for good communication and interpersonal skills.

The US Air Force’s mission to fly, fight, and win in air, space, and cyberspace is accomplished by over 300,000 enlisted and commissioned personnel enforcing and upholding all rules and regulations set by the Air Force Instruction and Uniform Code of Military Justice. From the way we dress to the way we perform in our jobs, on-duty or off-duty, on-base or off-base; everything is part of the whole picture.
