So google and some people are saying just be open but my dad is saying otherwise. I dont think i have anything to hide. My biggest thing would be a history (key word) of migraines in which I was prescribed a nausea take as needed med back in December of 2023 and I looked it up and it said it passed the 24 month threshold for active treatment that would require a waiver. So, I dont think id need to say much about it. Should I not disclose it unless something is said to me at meps. I no longer use the medicine its just sitting in a drawer collecting dust. How much should i say at meps?

Army aviation is my second option (1st option USAF, 2nd option Army, 3rd trade school or community college). What i want to know is if its even worth considering. Can you gain good certs and skills, whats the community like, whats the deployments like, how are the bases, overall how is life

I have a long history of migranes in my past and at one point was prescribed and anti-nausea med but I used it like maybe a few times and haven't had any migranes in a while. Because they would be on my record will i be disqualified from joining the military? Would i need a waiver?

Im looking mostly at aircraft maintenance but i am interested in stuff like electrical, HVAC, etc . I dont know much about that field is it a good field to be in the air force? Do you get some hood skills and whatnot, decent bases, travel, etc? Is it worth considering?

6. Tactical aircraft maintenance (2A3X3)

7. Aircraft metals tech/specialist (2A7X1)

8. Helicopter/tiltrotor aircraft maintenance (2A5X2)

9. Fifth Gen Tactical aircraft maintenance (2A3X7)

10. ?

​

Im looking at Low observable aircraft structural maintenance (2A7X5), Advanced fighter aircraft avionics (2A3X5) , and Aircrew egress systems (2A6X3)

​

I want hands on, the ability to gain good skills/certs, good careers/pay on the outside, some good bases/rotations and deployment opportunities, cool/interesting work

​

Any other list recommendations/changes are welcome

So, I want to really be able to do a lot of learning and get good experience with a variety of tasks on the airframe im on and i want to get a lot of experience and technical skills to apply to a civilian career. Traveling and deploying a decent amount would be nice as well but I am aware is mostly dependent on your unit, whats going on, and where youre stationed. I want to be able to do real work and learn a lot. What airframes/specific maintenance AFSC'S are best for what im looking for?

I want to go into maintenance/hands on fields that will give me good experience to prepare me for a civilian career. Im interested mostly in Aviation.
