Air Force enjoy. Hear Airmen talk about the rewards and challenges they experience
every day.

30 years after having gotten out of the Air Force I still look back at my Maintenance days with fondness. I didn’t end up doing a manual job afterwards but I learned things I still use every day. And man I love jets to this day.

Any maintainer knows there is no rewards, only challenges. Hold the carrot out in front of us but we never get it.

"Incredibly rewarding"

[@campydtv2890]

Was an f15 crew chief , don’t do this unless you REALLY WANT TO DO THIS, or else you will be miserable, other than that job is fun sometimes

[@KURTrek]

Campydtv , of all the aircraft what would you recommend the most? Fighters, bombers, or helicopters? (As in, what aircraft am I least likely to die working on Lol)

[@bruc850]

Kurt Foster HH-60 is the best one to work on imo. Coming from a f-15 chief.

Thanks Patriots my Son n law is an inspector in Wa Thanks to all of you!

[@BatterySonic]

Being a maintainer is perhaps the crappiest thing to be in the military. You never get to do anything cool or fun. You're just the workhorse. A janitor for the ones who actually get to use equipment. Maintaining sucks.

So it was 60 years ago!

[@stealthmanx2]

I was a crew chief on F-16's from 1990-2003 before expediting and pro sup'ing. It had its days, but would not change a thing. Does suck that a guy working maybe 40 hours a week up at MPF makes the same as you working 50, 60, 70 hours out in the elements. But I would not have gotten the same enjoyment pushing papers.
