    So iv been shooting for this position for 3 years now been threw 2 interviews and a hiring freeze but they finally offered me a systems mechanic position. They kind of boned me and gave me an assistant title so they could pay me 2 dollars less. I know this because my buddy with less qualified than me got in as a regular systems mech either because his mom is buddy buddy with the higher ups or because he interviewed better I dunno but hey at least I'm in. So anyone else here work there? I know there's alot of guys here in the antelope valley so its possible i guess. maybe we can park our tacos together in the parking lot ha ha no homo lol

    Yeah it's pretty cool. I can't talk much about the plane, I can't even really say I work on it. I posted this before I had my security clearance briefing so I won't be talking much about the aircraft. But I would still like to see if anyone on here works there. I know there are alot of people in the AV on here and almost everyone works aviation here in the AV.

    Congrats on the new job.
    Don't worry about the assistant title for now. If you show them what you are worth you will work your way up in no time.
    Enjoy working on that project that we do not know anything about....:spy:

    So going through my threads I started I saw this post and I should do an update.

    NORTHROP SUCKS DICK!!! Lol that was the worst job I ever had. Management is insanely shitty. Anyways I worked there for close to two years and man did that place fuck me up.

    I now work for General Atomics ASI doing composite mods on pred b hunter killers and I am so damn happy I never thought I’d be at this kind of place in life.

    Anyways I just wanted to update this. later!!
