Man, those pics really screwed crap up...sorry fellas
Crewin the Global Hawk was....hmm, well, interesting. There's really not much to crew. One hydro system for gear and nose hike. Everything else was electronic servoed. Heck, we didn't even burn through tires cause the dang thing landed so nice all the time. Kinda weird launching out and not coming back to recover until 28-30 hours later. Talk to your functional dude/dudette about switching over to Beale for the GH program. Last I heard they were hurting for bodies; E/E guys especially.

Not a crew cheif, but i'll jump in on this one since we always used to get our ***** busted by `em. 
I was an engines guy on F15's for 6 years (mostly flightline with a little backshop mixed in). I was at Kadena from 99-01, and Nellis from 01-05. Worked mostly C's and D's with a few months on E's at Nellis when I got farmed out to another AMU because one of their (few) engines guys went off to NCO Academy.
Wish I would have had the chance to get in some time on the F22 engines (F119). Those things were a mechanics dream (for the most part). The short time that I spent in the backshop at Nellis, I worked right on the other side of the wall from their area.
