I'm a former mechanic on 135 aircraft in the USAF. After five years of that I cross-trained, now I'm a Unit Education and Training Manager. I oversee upgrade, qualification and on-th-job training for all permanent party personnel at the group level. I administer the CDC program as well as inspect and provide guidance for paper-based and automated training records. I also oversee the survey program. It's a desk job and not a glamorous one. But the lifestyle is good and I don't have to be away from my family anymore. Still, I miss the flightline. I'm still not sure if I'll go back or not, my job allows me a lot of freedom and it's a lot more responsibility but it's not very rewarding. OTOH, being deployed or TDY 200+ days a year isn't really condusive to family life and I don't want to spend that much time away from my son. We'll see.

I'm the warranty service manager for a manufacturer of metal building products. In short, you buy our stuff, you have a problem with it, I investifate what caused that problem.

I also do tech support on our products.

I'm a consultant in the insurance industry, specifically in advising large companies how their disability programs are trending based on claim metrics. I also recommend changes to both their work environment and to their benefits programs to help foster a healthy employee population based on health care and specific customer industry trends. The ultimate goal is to prevent disabilities from happening through wellness programs and, when disabilities do happen, to help the person get their lives back together afterwards.

Thank You! I love what I do. I worked a few different jobs, everything from stocking shelves at a Publix supermarket to the Finance Manager of a local Suzuki/Sea-Doo dealer, and I figured out that I worked harder when I really enjoyed my job. So I took my hobbies (Diving, boating, and Motorcycles) and turned them into my profession.

I've got a bone to pick with you. When I had a real job I was a guidance and control technician on a Boeing 707 frame. My job eventually changed to Instruments and Flight Controls, right around the time of the GATM conversion. You wouldn't happen to have had anything to do with the block 40 deal from Rockwell Collins, would you?

I'd probably kill myself if that was all I actually ever did. :p
