As a fellow aircraft maintainer, I'd like to make a couple guesses and would like some confirmation on a few questions.

  1. As someone that used the term mechanic, you are a crew chief, eh?
  2. Some of the details you've listed leave me to believe that you are in the Air Force, am I right?
  3. How do you feel about Specialists? Do you actually care at all outside of the at-work jeering?
  4. If given the choice, would you rather work on heavy aircraft or are you one of those "Fighters or gtfo" kinda guys?

Thanks man, I appreciate your job from one maintainer to the next.

Just tell him that some young airmen right this very moment appreciates everything that he did to birth the family and workforce that I surround myself with every day.

In essence, He's the father of everything I am.

Hah. If it makes you feel better, I do play wow. I fall pretty kindly into the spec stereotype. Thanks for the answers. Good luck out there.

Stereotypes exist for a reason.
