Enlisted aide duty
The General Officer Management Office is soliciting enthusiastic, mature and professional applicants with the right attitude to fill enlisted aide openings at a variety of locations around the world.

Enlisted aide duty is a voluntary special duty open to all second term and career Airmen in the grades of E-5 and E-6. Enlisted Aides are assigned to specific general officers for the purpose of relieving them of tasks and details, which if performed by the officer would be at the expense of the general officer's primary military and official duties. The duties of an Enlisted Aide generally vary since their duties are tailored to the needs of each general officer; however, most Enlisted Aides perform the following types of duties: official meal preparation, housekeeping, maintaining general officer's uniforms, outside chores such as lawn care, edging and gardening, and arranging official social events.

All three-star generals are authorized one enlisted aide and four-star generals are authorized two. There are designated one and two star generals who are authorized enlisted aides due to the representational responsibilities inherent to their positions. For more information and application procedures, see Department of Defense Directive 1315.7 and Air Force Instruction 36-2123. If interested in applying, contact Senior Master Sgt. Lori Kelly at lori.kelly@pentagon.af.mil.
