[LB7Smoke23]

I was in tech school with the people in this video! I graduated May of 2010 though.

[bowman619]

Ok so if anyone has questions about this career/job please let me know. I'm a rated controller at Laughlin AFB, which is the 4th busiest Radar Approach Control (RAPCON) facility in the USAF, so please let me know.

@jwstr8 how hard was tech school?

[jwstr8]

@UrNoFuN929 now if we are talking about the schooling itself, it was actually easy for me. it depends on the person i guess. for some it was hard, but for others it was easy. I rarely studied, but was able to graduate, but others had to study like 2 hours a night. the hard part is memorizing the information and then learning how to "atc talk" most of it is memorizing phraseology and procedures. some pick it up fast and some need a little more time. hope that helps.

[jwstr8]

If anyone has any questions about this career/job please let me know. Im a rated air force air traffic controller at the Air Forces 4th busiest Radar Approach Control Facility. So if u have any questions im sure I can help ya, or find out for u. Good luck to everyone out there!

[Zakthackk]

I just took my asvab a few days ago.... this is what career im trying to get.

[Mikex87]

@Zakthackk good luck. I just finished my first week in the class. Really fun so far. BMT is all a mental game. Just remember that.

[marsvolta87]

@Zakthackk How did you score on the ASVAB? Best of luck

[Gnatsiescalps]

@jwstr8 thank you, I'll never make the Air Force regret taking me in when I get through all the basics. And, I wish you the best in your career!

[Gnatsiescalps]

Signed a six year contract for this job, and I ship out to basic come July 12th. Retail can suck it when compared to the air force. Fly-fight-win Hooah.

[jwstr8]

@Gnatsiescalps good luck man!

[jwstr8]

graduated from atc tech school in august now im operational in training at lauglin,afb. its a hard job, but well rewarding when at the end of the day, you see all the planes have landed safely and all the pilots made it back home safely.

[RASHskins]

Roughly 33% wash out in tech school. Of the remaining people that pass, ~33% of those wash out at their first base.

[juancarlosspartan]

At 1:35 What The Heck That Guy Said? Lol

[roborlj]

@juancarlosspartan lol thats pretty basic stuff

[Reddeath512]

@juancarlosspartan he is giving decent and turn instructions and also tells the air craft the current atis code >weather<

[DannyBoy52785]

What ASVAB score do you need to be an ATC in the air force?

[RedvsBlueGoD]

@DannyBoy52785

Min score is G55 & M55

[Wlfwnd91]

@DannyBoy52785 They won't give it to you with the minimum. The lowest I've seen in tech is 70's, typically in the 80's, and there's plenty in the 90's

[minoew5]

And the current students have the honor of being instructed by RB. Ronnieboooooof!!!
