Hey Everyone,

I have enlisted in the Air Force and was sworn in in April of this year. I just got my job assignment and ship date this past week. I got assigned loadmaster, which was my number one choice, so i am grateful for that, my ship date is november 9th. My goal right now is to serve get my degree, and do this job, and eventually fly for a major airline. My main question is: Since loadmasters apparently log flight hours, can these be applied towards an airline career if i were to try and get a job with an airline one day, after of course getting all the certifications needed, ie commercial...ATP? And if not, what is the best way to get from being a loadmaster, to a commercial pilot? Im very excited about my air force career and I am very happy with the choice i have made to serve.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated
