Reviews

Pros: Decent pay, but a lot of career lack grossly behind their civilian counterparts.

Cons: A lot of jobs seem to have very little to no accountability.

Review:

As an Air Traffic Control Operator, I interacted accordingly to coordinate and track air and ground traffic at various facilities. We all work together to complete the mission. Everyone is likeminded and buckle down to do work to complete the tasks at hand. We are held to a high standard are expected to do our best then look at way we could improve and do better.
