Long time nixers
You guys have some seriously cool jobs.

I now work in the "Plans and Resources" section of a small Communications Squadron for the ANG, it's a federal govt position, but I have to wear my uniform to work every day.

Basically, I:
- Handle all IT acquisitions for the base - I review costs, purchase sources, etc, and have to sign off on all IT purchases, as well as work with Contracting on large purchases.
- Manage long-distance circuits. We have fiber coming to and from our facilities and demarcing at multiple locations, and I have to keep it all straight, escort contractors coming to do maintenance on demarc points, know which circuits go where, keep billing info and records straight, and all that jazz.
- IT Asset Inventory: I have to keep up with an IT Asset inventory that includes anything that processes, connects to the network, etc. From Tablets to laptops to routers to monitors. Each section has an ITEC that is responsible for that section's assets. I have to go from section to section periodically and audit their accountability, make sure they all get their annual training, and am the only person who can edit the inventory, which has over 4000 assets.
- Project Management: It seems like every other week, some new project gets released by NGB or AFSC or some other higher agency, and they're sending people or equipment out to our base or need someone there past midnight, or we have to fill out some survey. This takes up the majority of my work time, just keeping projects straight, gathering information, escoring contractors, etc.
- Lifecycle management: the Air Force really doesn't like us using or having equipment that's out of warranty. Every year, they ask for numbers on equipment going out of warranty the next year, and send us pretty much whatever we ask for (when it comes to common stuff like laptops/desktops/printers/etc)


I like what I do, but I really want to get a development/programming job. Starting on my BaS in Software Development next month should help.
