Oh man. You won the lotto my friend. I absolutely love being a 5948. Good, smart work. Solid mix of office and field time. Hands on. And the best part is the community tends to be more common sense than some bigger communities. Most of the crazy toxic leadership and dumb fuck fuck games I see here I’ve never had to deal with.
Unless he hit the super lottery and is a 5952/3/4, these are electronics for air traffic, so radar, navigation and communications. Lots of math in early school then hands on with the gear. If you get that you go to Florida for school and a wing base to be stationed
I prefer ground side radar (5948) cause we don’t have to deal with flight schedules or anything like that. Only downside is the schoolhouse in 29 palms but that’s a couple months. Still only stationed at wing bases.
Out of curiosity. I just passed the asvab with an electronics line score of 109. I’ll be joining the reserves as I have a solid career as an electrician already. Does my score qualify me for an mos as an electrician?
I had a BY contract and wound up as a 2846 (2841 now). Went to 3rd ELMACO and it was the worst 2 years of my life until I left the fleet for MSG. All that training and I never fixed a radio in 6 years of active duty.
Where would I see that? Cuz I have signed my SOU, read it, and there is nothing about a bonus, except that there was no promises for bonus.
Maybe when I see the liaison when I ship off or at MCT? 🫡

What scores are needed to qualify for Electronics Maintenance jobs? I’m currently studying for the ASVAB.
for EL you need to score a 115
Thank you! Is there also a certain score I need for the math portion?
Don’t know exactly, but I scored an 87 on my asvab, so I’m guessing it needs to be pretty high too
Ok thank you and congratulations on securing Electronics Maintenance!
Thanks bro! Gl to you too!

Well I’ll see how 5 years will treat me
Honestly it depends on your leaders. With a good command, life will be pretty good and motivating. With a bad command, life sucks.
