Aircraft maintainers

Im guessing for squibs and flares

 

I hate dealing with squibs. Such a stupid process here. We only have guard ammo guys and can be a nightmare.

 

Whats so bad about shaw? Possibly trying to get back to the southeast, what're some good bases for the dreamsheet? (Carolinas, GA, TN if you can get there active duty) FL VA VW)

Thanks Anyone here from Fairchild?

 

i was in the U.S.A.F, EGRESS MECH ON F-16s, for 4.5 years. no im in the U.S ARMY, SGT E5, CH-47F/D mech. 7 years and still going.

You miss that Allison T-56 yet?


I miss em. Turbo fans are ghey

 

Turbofan's much easier to deal with but the whole thing troubleshoots itself, like a Super Hornet. They took all the fun out of the job.

 

Like I said. Ghey

 

This is true, C-17's and whatever else decides to fly in here. Not only is it squibs and flares but all ammo on base. Including EOD, cops, air field man., and various other organizations that need ammo. We are at most bases if not all. We distribute, store, and maintain serviceability of most AF munitions.

I'm really surprised I got this base after Korea but I'll take it for the time being. I'm looking to cross train in the next year, I know I'm looking into the wrong thread for that LOL! Anyways I know all the maintainers get shit on as well as us ammo troops so I'd figured I would invite myself to the party.

You havent worked C-5's haha they have the nickname F.R.E.D. (Fucking rediculous economic disaster) because they are so bad...

 

I'm down the road at NAS Pensacola (Air Force though!). You'll like it down here. Weather aint too shabby, cost of living is decent, plenty to do outside (beach, camping, lots of trails, etc) and you'll be down the road from Destin. I'm PCSing later this month out of here
