25 years of propulsion and still ticking. Worked c130 b/e/h and now J's. Still like going to work in the mornings too!! Have also worked a good bit in general aviation since I got my A&P in 1990 or so. Love working on KingAir's, big Cessna's(412-421's) and my all-time favorite is still a J3 cub!!

Love the super king airs
At my school we have the King Air S/N #2 I KID YOU NOT. Good ol PT-6's!
On FedEx 727's right now. Have one one the hangar along with a super 727.
The regular one might be scraped if the tail is cracked, so much corrosion we are replacing a quarter of the belly, keal beam, quarter of the seat tracks are corroded (original thickness with paint is like .087, I had to grind one down to .059!!!! on the belly it was like .062, they ground out .060....!!!!!), list goes on and on. I spent a 10 hour shift today and half of one yesterday grinding, guess what I will be doing tommorow LOL. Cracks all over also lol. Its a 40 day I think check (C-2), our supervisor laughed at that date LOL.
I am struture/sheetmetal now and love it a lot more then A&P type work.

I also can vouch for being a hard worker..
I am CE, tho.. I maintain pavements. "Dirt Boy".. We bust our *** and get screwed a lot.. "The most overworked and under appreciated shop in CE." .. We get screwed on 8 month deployments w/ 2 weeks notice, convoys and rebuilding airfields/pavments in dangerous areas.. BIAP: that BIG *** CRATER, we fixed that last year.. Rebuilt three acres of parking apron in Afghanistan, AKA Bagram, AKA steel beach..
Get 'T' taskings to FOB's in the outskirts of Iraq and Afghanistan...

I think he said he tried. From what he told me the first two weeks weren't that bad, but he seems swamped now. He's got a LOT going on at home too.
I think he has like two weeks left there.

Electronic Warfare, (AKA...Pointy head). At Offutt now working on the RC-135 Rivet Joint. It's not what I would like to be doing but its funding my GTO obsession.
