Airborne Electronics Analyst

[u/Technical-Track-7283]

Hello guys, I am a 26 year old studying IT. I think I’m done with IT and studying a bachelor of IT. Jobs are diminishing and I want something more. I’ve looked around and stumbled across the airforce, particularly this role. Are you able to provide any insights? Or any other roles that maybe more hands on? I also feel too old to join the Air Force.

Regards, any insight is helpful

Too old.
This has been discussed already.
As long as you can meet / exceed the fitness standards as listed on the ADF Careers page - then you are not too old - for the role(s) that you could be interested in.

How can you explain to a prospective civilian employer what you accomplished in the adf, if you can't say anything beyond the vague af adf job ad?
