JaredHOST
And or maybe they were never they never knew and never understood it.
JaredHOST
And so trying to understand of like why, especially the three, the operations folks or the operations AFSCs are so like, I don't care what the rules are.
JaredHOST
We're freaking going, you know, kind of thing.
JaredHOST
And whatever it takes to make happen, they just don't understand that.
Philip BarryGUEST
We're just going to we're going to swing at it.
Philip BarryGUEST
multiple TDYs and deployments where I had the opportunity to wipe down a jet or clean some parts, drain some parts for hydro, right? You don't always see, it's unfortunate, you don't always see supply NCOs or airmen out there really getting dirty with maintenance, right? Or other AFSCs that we support.
Philip BarryGUEST
Supply's pretty big.
Philip BarryGUEST
It's not just maintenance we support.

IanHOST
Yeah, and that talent management isn't all just within the local area, right? We're talking about airmen with talents all across the globe, right, and all within the service? Yes,
Philip BarryGUEST
yeah.
Philip BarryGUEST
Every MAJCOM you can imagine and any, all AFSCs, almost, I would say almost all AFSCs are there, yeah.
IanHOST
Yeah, which really encompasses a lot of what you've talked about throughout this entire podcast, right? We're being deliberate.
Jeffrey W. BaxterGUEST
It's its own MOS.
Jeffrey W. BaxterGUEST
We call it AFSC, Air Force Specialty Code.
Tracy AllenHOST
Right.
Jeffrey W. BaxterGUEST
So you have to apply for it and get selected.
Tucker HamiltonHOST
So when you were in the Air Force, you were actually, like, a physicist.
Tucker HamiltonHOST
That is what your AFSC was? Or did you...
Tucker HamiltonHOST
A- Air Force Service Code, I think it stands for, but it's like, what, the job we have in the military.
Tucker HamiltonHOST
Like, I had an AFSC that indicated "pilot." Clearly the coolest AFSC.
Tucker HamiltonHOST
No, uh, totally kidding.
Tucker HamiltonHOST
But what was...
Tucker HamiltonHOST
Uh, your AFSC was, like, a physicist.
Rob SlaughterGUEST
Yeah.
Garrett SmithHOST
I mean, they and many of the other companies out there, they are filling a necessary gap right now in the market and good on them.
Vince OlshoveGUEST
Yeah, I think the most interesting thing is give it a couple more years, and I think the Army was the first to do it, but standing up AFSCs, rates, MOSs that are drone-centric, some of the talent we'll be able to pull in out of high school and colleges as the next generation joins the service.
Vince OlshoveGUEST
Like, hey, you can be the drone operator that designs and builds from a component catalog of pieces and parts, and this is your primary job.
Vince OlshoveGUEST
I think we're going to pull in some highly, highly skilled people uh, uh, folks to, to kind of get after this.
