Ask Me Almost Anything - 62E Developmental Engineer & Sitting Officer Accessions Recruiting Sq/CC

All, for the remainder of the day (29 Feb) I will be happy to answer most any of your questions about the Air Force and Space Force overall, what it's like being a STEM officer in the Air Force, or questions that I can answer regarding the mysteries of Officer Accessions Recruiters (both Line Officer and Health Professions).

Here's my bio for context https://www.recruiting.af.mil/About-Us/Biographies/Display/Article/3086105/alan-k-louie/ and I look forward to discussing what I know at this time. And to be clear, these views are my own and do not reflect the official policy or position of the Department of the Air Force, Department of Defense, or the US Government and anything I tell you right now is subject to change at any time!

The only other thing I want to add on here is that being an engineer in the Air Force has been an AWESOME opportunity for me. In 2003 I saw a sign "play with cool, high-tech toys, United States Air Force", and I said to myself, alright, i'll give it a try for four years. Twenty years later I have been blessed to work fascinating programs across weapons, aircraft, nuclear, space, and now leading 90 awesome people across the southeast of the United States and Puerto Rico looking for people like yourselves. I love the people I work with, the challenges we face which change on a daily basis, and the purpose we share, to deter bad people from doing bad things. Sometimes we have to do a bit more than just deter but we hope never to get to that point.

Looking forward to your questions! Lt Col Alan Louie, Commander, 342 RCS
