I'm an Electronic Technician for a large Oilfield services company (you Definitely know them)
Anyways, I keep Large computer automated equipment playing nice with each other and their operator! if one of my toys break I get to be responsible for 28k/hr downtime and holding up a 3 million dollar job for us and a 50 million dollar well for our customers! But, Like tonight nothing broken, I get to just chill in the cab of our Work F350.

yep, basic is where you'll hear and see some of the funniest things of your life, and tech school isn't a bad time either. I hear they shortened AF basic from 8 1/2 down to 6 weeks again? It's easy as long as you blend in with the crowd and do your best to go unnoticed... just don't be the idiot that shows up at lackland with a 'fro and tie-dye tee shirt.

Phew. i wouldn't mind being TDY. just as long as i don't have to serve tours in combat. and that seems interesting. the f-16's were one of my favorite aircraft because of the navy's blue angels. then the f-22 came around....

Apparently job-hoppers make more money than the 30 year guys. Makes sense, I guess.
