In AIT I learned the basics of fixing aircraft when I got my first assignment (and my only assignment I kept extending to stay in Germany) I quickly proved my skills and learned as much as possible and within 5 months I was a crewchief flying Blackhawks everyday and working on my own aircraft every day. A little over 6 years and 1500 hours (650+ combat hours) later I got out of the army. Before I got out I tested out at a FAA center and now have my A&P License so that I can work on all types of civilian aircraft. Oh and what annoyed me today. Tonight is our local street fest with live music and lots of beer and it is thunderstorming and supposed to stay that way the rest of the weekend.

But yeah someone has to play in the mud while we flyboys fly overhead, assault you guys in then fly back to base for a beer!  Just kidding man! Those were actually some of the most exciting times doing combat air assaults.

| Not so much annoyed as worried about my Marine best friend in Iraq. He's my age, and I've known him since 6th grade.
