checking it out After seeing 02WS6Bird get some responses I though I would check it out too. Currently I am a 23 year old Marine expecting to get out in appx. 7-8 months. I thought I would check and see if there is any kind of job market out there right now. I served as an aviation mechanic for five years. Mainly diesel mechanics. I have done a lot since I have been in. Just to name a few I blasted and painted, run forklifts, operate 8 1/2 ton wheel mounted cranes, etc etc. I also have a lot of experience in the paperwork running maintenance side of the house which is what I am currently doing now. Don't expect too great of a response due to time I'm still going to be in. Just curious. Any questions feel free to ask and thanks for any help. Sorry post is so long.

Semper Fi,
I work for a company that sells surplus commcerial aviation parts.
We are located right by O'hare.

Look me up when you get out.

I got out in Sep '02. Keep an open mind and be flexable. I was on terminal leave when I got hired on the railroad. Started out low in my book but now I am 60k+ a year. Not too shabby. I live much more comfortable than I did as a Cpl at Lejeune. Harley in garage, wife's car paid for, Jeep Gr. Cherokee paid for, '02 ws6 making payments.

yeah I am pretty sure that is how it is going to go. I'm just thinking about extending to go to the sand box but I'm not sure about that either

Good luck man, i got my buddy brian seeing what he can do for me- hopefully it falls through as a porter at the dealership he works at (gotta get a hold of the insurance company which is all headed out of florida to see if a 16yr old can do the job w/o issues)

yeah I am hoping that wouldn't happen. I am just an air winger so hopefully I wouldn't see too much. I'm probably just going to get out and enjoy life a little. What really sucks is the whole 5 years I have been in my car has still been in Illinois so I will just be happy driving my baby again. After of course all the parts I have bought have been put on.
