equiment operator will run anything put in front of me.

 

Heating, Air Conditing, and Refrigeration service technician. After 24 yrs of it, I guess I'm a senior technician

 

Forklift tech for 5 years...then firefighter for the U.S. Forest Service now
Been a volunteer firefighter for 7 years...

I am the Deputy Director for F-22 technical training.

Basically I run the F-22 maintenance schoolhouse as a Department of the Air Force civilian...GS-12. 23 total years in uniform (two branches) doing mostly aircraft maintenance, aircrew and some other stuff. Been wrenching my whole life and still love to do it every chance I get. Weekends I am at the drag strip with 3 of my daughters who all drag race.

 

Egress systems technician...Which probably wont contribute to the outside world to well. However I have worked quite a few trades before the military. Did plumbing, commercial and residential as well as custom home theater installations which actually entailed quite a bit of structural and electrical work. I am hoping to get into an electricians union when I get out.

 

WoW , reading all the trades everybody works is impressive. The company where I worked made everyone quit smoking back in the 1994. Well I quit smoking and after about 2 weeks I quit working . So there I was unemployed, with little money. So my wife and I started a landlord thing. We bought little places and fixed them up for rent. We servived. no health ins. or retirement, until 65 now we ride around in our used 04 f350 6.0 dually and go camping in our used 36' fifth wheel. We as a team can do just about everything. We are really good at cheap!

 

Fulltime: I'm an IT guy, so I've done it all when it comes to networking and administration. I also help with repairs, complete custom builds, and upgrades.

Part time: Almost anything else. I used to help my folks with their industrial equipment brokerage (buy, fix, sell, finder's service) so I've been around diesels since I was 5 years old.
