Noobtastic14 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Active AF F22 Maintainer, Langley Va. I am on 12hr Panama shifts so 15 days off a month... be jealous -Drew i have been trying to convince my shop to go on panamas forever. they say we'll get too much time off. but what they don't realize that it'll guarantee 24hr coverage 7days a week 365days a year and never have to sorry about weekend duty schedule because it'll rotate naturally. so yes, i am jealous What's your job? let me guess, Japan... shift work... no desks... either 1) F-16 crew chef or 2) Security forces Personally I hope it is the chef because I'm partial to the maintenance field myself. -Drew no f16s here at kadena, we actually have langleys old 15s. your right about the no desk job way off with the SF as a f22 maintainer your are actually probably quite familiar with my job. i'm AGE, the red headed step child of the flight line Ahhhh well that is different! the location listed on your profile is Okinawa Oh I love AGE... Working at Corrosion Control for a good bit let me repaint almost every type of AGE you carry... Now that I am on flightline I just stick to the B1s and B4s to access the top of the jet. I'll probably end up on the Okinawa rotation this year but we'll see. I'd rather visit that guy ^^^^ in Italy but the jets don't fly that way. -Drew Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

Noobtastic14 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Well I must have gotten those names mixed up! Be thankful, you have options and I can only go to the locations you've listed. FML I joined to travel not see Alaska. -Drew Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

Noobtastic14 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I can't get out of my career field! It is critically manned and special duty assignments are not approved I know NCOs that actually got pulled OUT of MTI school to come back to the career field. I'm hoping that as an E4 in the next few years the job will balance out and I will get approved for a post office job or an equivalent. Until then, Somebody has to keep the jet stealth it might as well be me. Not everybody is given an hammer and told to bang on the most advanced operational fighter in the world I guess that will lift my spirits a bit. -Drew Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.
