Crashed, Damaged, and Disabled Aircraft Recovery Section Chief

March 2001 • Gunsan-si, Jeollabuk-do

What I liked

Testing my teams capability to extract crashed aircraft during chemical attacks in full protective gear.

What I wish was different

I wish that it paid more and 18 shifts wearing 45 lbs of gear are not cool.

Advice

Just go to college, get an A & P. Being separated from your family is not worth it.
