My boyfriend is in the air force and he’s extremely nervous about washing out. He is going to be a boom operator and wants to know the washout rate. He’s motivated to do this so I don’t have any worries, but he still wants to know.
It shouldn’t matter and isn’t something he should be spending time worrying about. If he instead focuses on learning the job and doing what he is supposed to do then he will be fine. KC-135 or KC-10? I would wager the rate would be higher for KC-135 guys (and gals) due to spending all the time in Altus dealing with the douche-bag MTL’s that are there. KC-10 guys have it better because after there initial schools they are upgraded at their first duty station and become part of the operational Air Force and not the AETC crap.
Either way congrats to him for picking one of the best enlisted jobs in the military.
If he is going to be on 135’s, tell him that even though Altus sucks, the MTL’s are dicks, and there are all sorts of lame stupid restrictions, once he gets to his first base he will have one of the best jobs and a great time. It trulyy is one of the best 2 enlisted jobs.
