The mission of the United States Air Force is to fly, fight and win in air, space and cyberspace. Our rich history and our vision guide our Airmen as we pursue our mission with excellence and integrity to become leaders, innovators and warriors.

To achieve that mission, the Air Force has a vision of Global Vigilance, Reach and Power. That vision orbits around three core competencies: developing Airmen, technology to war fighting and integrating operations. These core competencies make our six distinctive capabilities possible.

Air and Space Superiority: With it, joint forces can dominate enemy operations in all dimensions: land, sea, air and space.

Global Attack: Because of technological advances, the Air Force can attack anywhere, anytime and do so quickly and with greater precision than ever before.

Rapid Global Mobility: Being able to respond quickly and decisively anywhere we're needed is key to maintaining rapid global mobility.

Precision Engagement: The essence lies in the ability to apply selective force against specific targets because the nature and variety of future contingencies demand both precise and reliable use of military power with minimal risk and collateral damage.

Information Superiority: The ability of joint force commanders to keep pace with information and incorporate it into a campaign plan is crucial.

Agile Combat Support: Deployment and sustainment are keys to successful operations and cannot be separated. Agile combat support applies to all forces, from those permanently based to contingency buildups to expeditionary.

Fuels Technician in All over
on 14 November 2023
You get out what you put in.
I've had a great career. Fuels isn't the most exciting career in the Air Force, but the hours are generally decent, and I don't really have any complaints. Promotions has a political game to play, and if you play it you will be rewarded. If you go to work and do your job, don't expect to rank up past E-5 very fast as an enlisted.

Good place to work, good benefits, lots of travel, and pay is good. Having to follow orders when getting yelled at by multiple ncos isn't fun but just have to push through it

Great experience
Great experience and training. When it was time to reenlist my career field was overmanned so I separated and don’t regret it, but I definitely don’t regret the time spent enlisted. Great start after high school.
