Have you ever wondered what life could be like in the military?! Here's a glimpse into who we are and what we offer. Joining our team can be a significant decision with various considerations such as training, education, individual and family benefits, travel, job security, and a sense of purpose and discipline. Our American patriots find their purpose in what they do and are ready to persevere at anything they set their minds to. #DefendingOurCountry #JoinUs
We recognize the service and sacrifice of our military and their families, and we dedicate resources, services, policies and programs to support the 2 million uniformed service members and their 2.6 million family members across the globe. That’s why, under President Biden’s 2025 budget request for the DoD, we asked for a 4.5% military pay raise, more funding for military family support programs -- including childcare and commissary benefits -- and investments to improve our facilities worldwide. Military service offers incredible opportunities -- and generous benefits. Watch Secretary Austin’s message to learn how the DoD is working to take care of our men and women in uniform, and their families. FOR MORE: https://lnkd.in/dyv7kEgd

#AirCommandos on and around Hurlburt Field will see a new aircraft in the sky starting this week! Two AT-802U trainer aircraft will be used to train test pilots and initial cadre in a representative tail wheel aircraft in preparation for the missionized Armed Overwatch (OA-1K) variant. The OA-1K is a low-cost, reliable, multirole, small-to-medium size aircraft system to support geographically isolated special operations personnel. The aircraft will perform close air support, precision strike, armed intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance in austere and permissive environments.
