Nondestructive Inspection - 2A7X2 - Air Force Careers

Nondestructive Inspection - 2A7X2. I sat down with Jay Sutton, a prior US Airman and he talked about his job in the Air Force which was Nondestructive inspection - 2A7X2 and we answered questions like where is tech school for Nondestructive Inspection, how long is tech school for Nondestructive Inspection, what bases can Nondestructive Inspection go to, what exactly you do in Nondestructive Inspection, and advice for people who get Nondestructive Inspection as their job in the Air Force.
Nondestructive Inspection is also commonly referred to as NDI in the Air Force.

Airman Vision is run by Kyle Gott. Kyle is an Air Force Veteran who served 6 years and honorably separated as an E-5 Staff Sergeant. He started making videos on this channel to document his journey joining the United States Air Force back in 2013 and continues to help set future Airmen up for success.

The videos on this channel represent the individual opinions of those speaking and do not reflect thoughts of the Air Force, DOD, or US Government.

Currently making 6 figures doing this job, I dint learned it in the Air Force, I did it as a trainee now I’m certified in all 5 basic methods of NDT and did not have to pay for college which is great, I encourage all the young bucks to get in it, is a great time to be a NDT Inspector.

I was an NDI inspector back in the day (87-90) I was stationed at Luke AFB, with the 405th EMS. This is one of the BEST jobs in the AF.

I love NDI. Amazing career. Eddy current, ultrasonic, fluorescent penetrant, joint oil analysis program, x-ray, magnetic particle inspection, good times. We did have to deal with alot of bs tho. It's an important job and if you f up someone dies, no pressure. About that x-ray, if you see an NDI tech running in the opposite direction you should probably start running too.

NDI career field is the best kept secret in Mx!! I did 21+ years doing NDI from ANG to AD. During my time in, it seems that there were always a SRB (Selective Reenlistment Bonus) available. In addition, when you leave the Air Force, there is an abundance of job opportunities on the outside and pays very well dependent on what methods you get certified in and of course location. Very good video, it sure beat the AFSC book I read at the Recruiters Ooon!!

Thanks for that interview on this job. My son got NDI and was assigned to Yakota as his first duty station, been there 3 weeks. Was interesting hearing what he’ll be doing during his career. Sounds like a good job and a great base to work at. I was 68G20 airframe repair with the 101st Airborne in Vietnam, I fixed bullet holes In Huey’s 😮‼️

Another incredible collaboration. This is one job that I've never heard of, and I love learning new things.

Lol I’m NDI at Langley. Pensacola was definitely awesome during the warm weather. That white sand was something else

[JoseHernandez-mvkl]

Cool Video bro. My AFSC was 2A7X2 as well. Awesome career field, Gott and I actually went to tech school together March - May 2013. However when I got to my first duty station I got stuck at Holloman AFB for 5 years. Recently separated last year and doing NDI now in the civilian world here in Texas.

I’ve worked in NDE for the last 6.5 years as a level II in VT, MT, PT, UTT, CRT, and PMI. Speaking to my recruiter now but he’s telling me NDI isn’t open and is trying to hustle me into going into something else. So I’m going to speak to a different AF recruiter. It’s a fun field, if you’ve never done it, study study study so when you do the general, specific and practical for your level 2s, you’re set. It’s confusing and may seem difficult at first but it’s not once you become familiar with the processes and learn the code/procedure for each method. And you can make bank working for some companies. Phased Array I was working towards my level 2 hours in, it’ll eventually replace X-Ray one day. That’s the big ticket method to get your level 2 in. The company I worked for paid our level 2 PAUT guys $55/hour.

Hey, I’m trying to learn the general orders but I can’t find the ones for the Air Force (if there even are any) I’ve accidentally memorized the army and navy ones cause I thought they were the same😂Can anyone help?

That X becomes a 3 when you graduate tech.
