[QUOTE="Branhammer, post: 15553847, member: 164970"] Currently dual-status military ANG Technician. I'm a "Programs and Management Analyst." I basically track mission stats and trends and brief them to the chiefs and commanders. I also have a few other duties like Maintenance Database Manager, Unit Career Advisor, Cyber Security Liaison, and records custodian. I basically live at a computer and handle shit loads of paperwork. I use Excel a ton and I'm the only person I know who actually uses Access on a daily basis. Currently an E-6 (TSgt) sitting in an E-7 (MSgt) "slot," meaning I'll be an E-7 in about 2-3 years, but E-7 is the max rank I can reach in this job. I LOVE it. It may sound boring to most, but after 5 years as an aircraft maintainer, both on HH-60s in a CSAR unit and KC-135s in my current unit, I welcomed the comfy desk job. Decent money, my own office, tons of perks and good benefits, and as long as I do my job, no one really bothers me. I get an hour per day on the clock to work out and we have a pretty decent gym here. Sometimes I workout for longer and no one gives a shit because they all know I strive to be the best at my job that they've ever seen. According to my superiors, I'm fulfilling that goal. This year, I'll be converted to title 5, which means I'll no longer be "dual-status." All that means is that my civilian job is no longer dependent on my military job, meaning I could change jobs on the military side or even go commissioned OR separate (no way I'm doing that though) and still keep my full-time analyst job. It also means that I no longer get to wear my uniform during the regular work week. I'll miss that. My two years of part-time ANG status from 2012-2014 had me missing the uniform Mon-Thurs (I'm one of those "weirdos" that loves my ABUs). However, it also means I can shave as little as once per month if I want. There's also a chance I might be bumped up to a high pay scale. I'll be here until they make me leave. [/QUOTE]
