Hi everyone,
This is my first post and i've searched around and can't find the answer i'm looking for. I am interested in particularly one trade at the moment and that is FIRE FTR in the Air Force. I am 30 years old and very qualified with lots of certs, vollie experience, degree, life experience, etc. and previous reserves time. This is only the trade i'm really interested in doing. I don't plan to get in and then get out and work for a civ. dept. as I used to be full time on a civ. dept. as well. I want the military lifestyle but I don't have a passion for any other trade at the moment.
My question is this - will this be looked upon positvely (such as why train for something else if my heart is in Fire), or negatively as in you want to be in the CF but only want 1 choice out of a possible 3...are you crazy? If I don't get hired for this trade for a really long time.....then in the meantime I will look into other trades in the air force. I guess if I only want the one trade they might accomodate me more to get me into the forces and give someone else their 2nd or 3rd choice?
Any help is appreciated...just not sure how common it is to only pick one trade. I'm sure it's not very common.
Great forum!!!
