Best/Worst
What do you like best about being in Communications?
The day that I found out I could leave the career field to come teach at USAFA....I'm just kidding.
Actually, my best day and my worst day are probably the same day. I had worked a full day as a NOSC Crew Commander, but was still on call for the week. After getting home I got called back into work at about 1900 hrs because of some malicious activity on the network. Several hours and a lot of coffee later, as the morning crew was coming on duty, I was able to report that we had maintained operation and integrity of the network. Often times the job of a comm officer can be somewhat thankless (you get blamed when things break, but don't get praised when they're up and running). As a result, you have to sometimes find satisfaction in knowing that you've done your job well and, at a minimum, avoided the blame of the network going down. Non-comm folks may not always appreciate all that it takes to keep a network 'flying' so you have to sometimes find satisfaction internally.

What did your best day as a comm officer look like (so far)?
What about your worst day?
