- The ABM career field is small, but essential to the application of airpower. Based primarily in Oklahoma, ABMs most often fly on the E-3 Sentry (AWACS) and E-8 JSTARS.

Heavy fovus on AWACS and Tinker AFB. As a 13B I served on multiple air platforms, not just on AWACS, on USN ships / carriers, ground TACS units, FOBs, headquarters, and was an instructor at Tyndal AFB. I served with all branches of the US military, with NATO, Coalition, and ME militaries.
I'm an ABM and would love to answer any questions that people have.
what's the best way for them to get in touch with you?
I’m in university right now doing AFROTC. What are classes I can do now to prepare for a career as an ABM?
whats the main job an ABM? when in AWACS and CRC
Hello, so I'm a recent appointee to the Prep School (prior E), I want to go Rated eventually but I've heard so little about ABMs. Can you give me a basic rundown? Thank you
Any chance you’d be interested in a discussion these days on this?
Forgot the most important piece...the Control and Reporting Center (CRC)!
can't cover everything, but we do touch on it here: ruclips.net/video/qIyOmsYYd9U/видео.html
Does this job also help control air strikes on the ground or does this job solely focus on air battles ? What’s the age limit to get this job ?
they control both the air-to-air and air-to-ground missions.
"UPT/UCT/UABMT applicants must not be beyond their 33rd birthday nor have more than 8 years of Total Federal Commissioned Service (TFCS) by the date specified in the Board Results Message (the red date on the memo)." afreserve.com/downloads/AFRC_UFT_Guidebook.pdf
Can you commission into this field as a USAF reserve officer? If not what fields are available for reserve officers
yes.
Awesome 👏 ❤
How many years are ABMs required to commission?
ABMs have a six year active duty service commitment AFTER they complete UABMT.
I’m currently studying electrical engineering. I want to do this job. D’où you have any advice ?
go to the USAFA or join AFROTC.
@@airforceofficerpodcast Or just apply for an Officer board, thats what i did
i’m glad it worked for you, but OTS should never be Plan A if someone hasn’t finished their degree. USAFA and AFROTC will always be more direct and less competitive.
@@airforceofficerpodcast tell that to all the AFA guys who got dropped last year 😂 get a degree you can succeed in in the civilian sector and then try the airforce. Enjoy the civilian life of college. Non priors get selected yearly.
I'm Army, but if I were to commission Air Force, this is a job I'd do
what's stopping you?
Except this career field stabs their people in the back in order to advance thier careers. And i know this for a fact. Other than that, cool job with 6 year service commitment which starts after training is complete
