Work wise it good
We work 8 hours a day, and an hour lunch. Work is alright, getting along well with coworkers. Working on the military especially aviation industry has taught me to work with care and precision, we know that there is no second chance in the air. So do the job first time the right way. I have learned the importance of using the right tools and carrying out tools check at all times especially before the task and after the task. It's very exciting job after seeing the aircraft landing safely which you have worked on. Working on aircraft sometimes you have to work on confined space and be able to handle pressure since the aircraft might be needed serviceable in a short period of time.
Pros: The promotion is steady sometimes you find there's a backlock, causing a promotion to be delayed.
Cons: Sometimes you are expected to work longer hours, standbys and duty crew for a week.
