Staff Officer, Pentagon
1. Ops Tempo/Deployment
M-F, 0730-1630. Deployments aren’t too common…mainly because they are good deal to Staff Officers as they get them out of the building for months at a time.
2. Lifestyle/ Family Stability
Stable. You can expect to be home every night, as well as most weekends. That is unless you work in the Engine Room or Joint Staff, then you can expect to work 0630-1930 M-F, and sometimes on weekends. You’ll find yourself making unnecessary dental appointments just to get out of the office
3. Community morale
You work behind a desk in a small cubicle, far removed from anything with wings or rotors.
4. Advancements & Future of the airframe
You’re well on your way to your next rank, especially if you’ve mastered TMT. The future of the Staff Officer is bright…they’ll always needs someone to write pointless bullet background papers, and recycle power point briefings.
5. Preferred PCS locations
