    I think you'll be ok. We had an AGE guy xfer to LO at my unit. It's a big shop with lots of people. I heard some days it's pretty cruise waiting for the paint to dry..and other days are long scraping paint.

    Make sure you get all your PPE, some of the stuff they work with is nastier than what you may have been around already.

    been here most of my life.. I'm in the ANG here so it's different from the "regular" AD.

    I could do without the horrible cost of living though :p
