For Master Sergeant....  2 months of Studying, 1-2 hours a day, sometimes more....  I'll find out in about 5 months if I made it....  I'm just glad I'll get a break from the books for a while....  It'll be a good raise if I get it, it's been 11 years so far, 9 to go....  We'll see how everything pans out...

200 questions, I need to make about 80% to pass....  I think I knew about 75-80% of the answers....  It'll be close....

Next week I am off for a 6 week academy for Non-Commisioned Officers....  So I guess the break will be short lived!

100 questions on my job (radio Maintenance Technician) and 100 questions on general Air Force......  So basically anything between the Hot Air Balloons of the Civil War and present day......

Man I have been busy with the Academy, but time is flying by.  2 weeks down, 4 to go....  I forgot about homework....  LOL, we have an 8 hour academic day follwed by 2 hours or so of PT and then a few hours of homework each night....  But, I'm learning all the stuff I have forgot over the years, so it is a good thing....

My knowledge of the military food chain ranking system is pretty nil, so bear with me....

What would a radio maintenence technician with a E7 rank, qualify in the civilian world?

Do you come out pretty much as a qualified Electrical Engineer?

Good luck with the testing.

Honesty, I would qualify as management idealy, with an electronics background.  I should have my EE by the time I retire though, so management or engineering will be my call.  By the time you are an E-7 and up, you are pretty much hands off equipment and pretty much leading people/workcenters/squadrons/etc...
