Looking for a change of pace Published Dec. 18, 2007 By Airman 1st Class Ryan Whitney Nellis AFB Public Affairs NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. -- Nellis and Creech Air Force bases hosted their annual retraining and special duty fair for interested, career-savvy Airmen Dec. 13 and 14. The Nellis Professional Development Center hosted the fair to provide Airmen who are interested in cross training into critically manned Air Force Specialty Codes or special-duty assignments the chance to get more information from Airmen who have currently or previously held those positions. "We hold this event primarily for Airmen who want a job change, but want to continue wearing the Air Force uniform," said Master Sgt. Juliet Gudgel, Nellis Professional Development Center career assistance advisor. There were more than 20 different Air Force specialties present at the fair, with jobs varying from combat controller to dorm manager. Thunderbird members were also on hand speaking about the variety of AFSCs available in the U.S. Air Force Aerial Demonstration Squadron. Representatives from the University of Las Vegas detachment of the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps made themselves available for enlisted Airmen interested in obtaining a commission. "There are plenty of options for those looking for a change in their careers, as well as those Airmen interested in taking a short break from their current job and trying something different," Sergeant Gudgel said. For more information on retraining or special-duty assignments, contact the Nellis Career Advisory Office at 702-652-8723.
