Two Airmen didn’t choose this career field, but it didn’t stop them from enjoying every minute of it. Senior Airman Emma Duff reports.
Suggested Tag:
Structures’ Airmen work with metal and concrete as well as wood.
Reporter:
The sound of hammers, the smell of sawdust, and a quick measurement starts the day for these two Airmen at Osan.
SB:
Before I got into CE somebody told me it was a good job, it was a great job. I didn’t believe them, cause I never ever really swung a hammer before. But once I got out of tech school I found out that you can use your creative genius. Especially when you’re deployed, they give you a lot of empowerment, a lot of autonomy to fix a problem.
Reporter:
Ssgt Marvin Reyes, a structural craftsman, shares a common pride with structural journeyman, SrA Shawn Seamans. SrA Seamans explains exactly where their job satisfaction comes from.
SB:
Being an engineer is really awesome because for example you go into a project you get to literally see it from the bottom built up to the top it’s, it allows you to explore creativity as well.
Reporter:Even with creative freedom a set of basic skills are still required.
SB:
I absolutely love this job it’s definitely, definitely the best occupation I’ve had since being in the Air Force and outside of the Air Force.
Reporter:
And just like the structures shop builds this cabinet, they also build on their pride and experience.
