[QUOTE="OU812, post: 10371537, member: 51934"] I've been hydro now for 10 years, I've worked C-130's, C-17's, and I'm in a backshop now. I'm not a fan of backshop at all, it's the same thing over and over and over. I'm at a C-130 base and all we do is rebuild brakes and actuators and we don't do that much of it, the base I'm at only has about 4-6 planes at a given time because of deployments. We only turned out 28 brake for last year period! I loved being on C-17's, the hydro system on that plane is damn good so it hardly ever breaks. It gives you time to learn other peoples jobs and eventually might get you a chance to fly. I flew as a flying crew chief for 4 years and I loved it, I made a ton of money and got to fly all over the world and be a part of some really cool stuff. As far as bases go, you have to take the good with the bad. You might have a crappy squadron but the area will be great or it could be the other way around. I've been stationed in Germany, South Carolina, and now Japan. Japan has been my least favorite base so far.....just not impressed with anything here really. How many years did you sign up for? Our career field had a re-enlistment bonus for the first time in a long time, did they give you a signing bonus? [/QUOTE]
