The Air Force Times carried a short article on “Dream Jobs” in the Air Force.  While it appears to have been a slow news day, it is worth noting that Air Force members can often participate in some very unique, challenging, and downright fun career fields–some that they may not even have considered or knew existed.  As a recent article pointed out, one AF pilot even went to fly with the US Marines.

The AF Times article lists Aggressor Pilot, Test Pilot, and Thunderbird among a list of other career fields that include Enlisted Aide and VIP Flight Attendant.

Not every job in the Air Force, or the military, is as “cool” as it sounds (one of the AF Times metrics), but then there are many fields that are far “cooler” than one might think.  While the needs of the military are supreme when it comes to many of these kinds of decisions, a military member well armed with the knowledge of what he can do, and what he wants to do, can guide his career far better than one who simply walks blindly forward.
