I have looked into what type of career i would like to succeed in as I serve for our country while in the Air Force but it's hard to determine what to choose considering I've never been in that place... 1, I was wondering about a aircraft loadmaster, I understand math take good par in being able to succeed.. But what's the job like? How is living on base? How is schooling and how long does it take? Do you have to enlist longer ? Please share anything u can. 2. What is it like to be a Material manager ? What do you do? I understand their are different sections but what is schooling like? How long does it take? Any benefits ? Please feel free to tell me about your job while you serve or what you think is the best way to go.. I like to hear everything before I get into something I'm not aware on. Thank you

This is my first job and I've only worked for about 3 months before getting promoted to supervisor but I don't think doing a good job, especially when it comes to delegating tasks. There are many times when I had to close the store late, and to prevent over working some of the members, I decided to take on their tasks myself, which I know is inefficient. I just don't seem to be good at organizing and prioritizing duties and how to assign them properly. Any help and tips?
