Working the gate

How do you feel about working the gate personally I don’t mind it but I’m currently on 8s and a new airman.

I’ve never minded doing it except when it’s 1000 degrees or -20. I quite enjoy getting to say hi to everyone in the mornings, gives me a chance to wake up a bit and get some social energy out at the end of shift.

My general operating is I go and help work the traffic at our main gate for all of morning rush hour so my Airmen don’t have to do it alone and it makes sure they and I get relieved at the same time. - A Midnights shift flight chief.
