AFSC -- aka my new career

63AX - Acquisition Manager

That's right folks, the Air Force gave me a job :)  This is actually kinda old news, but I was looking at my past posts and noticed I promised this announcement, so here it is!  This was my top choice of career, so I'm pretty grateful Uncle Sam cooperated.  What does an acquisition manager do, you ask?  Heres a link to what the Air Force describes this job as: LINK!!  But let me explain what I've been able to gather so far... 


According to this picture (found at above link) I will be flying a desk, and can look forward to: framed astronaut pictures, receding hairlines, a bigger belly, and (drumroll) ...hairier arms!


What I've really learned though is that I'll be working as a program manager of some aspect of an  acquisitions project.  Examples of current acquisitions projects are the F-35, or the KC-X.  And yep, if you've payed any attention to the news, those projects are all not doing so hot, and that's why I picked acquisitions.  Because where else does the Air Force need so much change and work done?  Nowhere.  So I hope to change the world, and that's way cooler than flying planes to me ANYDAY.

But seriously, I don't look forward to that visibly thinning hair
