I spent most of my career as a Mechanical Calibration Technician, mostly working on Submarines and ships. The last five years I was moved to something else because the Navy did away with the rate and outsourced it to civilian only. I became an Aircraft Mechanic (AM1), but did not actually do the work (I don't even like planes very much), I was a Safety Petty Officer, running the Safety programs in Aircraft squadrons. I miss the calibration work...but I am very happy with my business now that I am retired. Where was all of your family stationed? |
