Steph: that makes more sense, but now I have more questions if you have time and are allowed to answer. some of these are things I've always wanted to know (I know--I'm weird).
What is noncommissioned versus enlisted?
Do you have engineering training to do your job? Or do you oversee engineers? I've recently become more interested because my BFF is a pilot and she and her boyfriend have recently started an aviation fastener company. Not that I will ever fly in a small plane. No way--no how.
How's your face feeling? I hope you're doing better. Looks like you all had a great time.
Noncommissioned is enlisted, I'm just the one in charge (see there's the word I don't like ) of the rest of the enlisted. The main reason is that I outrank them, the secondary reason is that I have the most experience (of the enlisted members) in this job.
I don't have engineering training but I have been trained on avionics systems for multiple aircraft. I have worked flight controls, navigation, communication, Radar, etc. In my current job I do work with engineers. As funny as it sounds, engineers (stereotypically speaking now) tend to see their part of the aircraft (ie what they've designed, work one, etc). When I work with them it's my one of office's jobs to explain how the systems integrate and don't just operate alone.
Now that I've bored you all to tears; I'll tell you that I hate to fly.... The worst thing is when they tell me that my plane is being delayed to maintenance. I just want them to say the plane is delayed...I do not want to know it's maintenance.
Oh and is it February yet!!!!! I'm ready to go....
