So I joined the military about five years ago. Well it will be five in August, but whose counting? All I wanted to do was be around aircraft either flying or working on them. When I was 16 I didn't want my driver's license, I wanted to build a plane and fly. Since I've been in, my goal has been to get my degree and obtain my A&P certifications. While taking the classes and working I realized that I needed to find some way to get more involved on the civilian side of things to get more experience, and knowledge. I recently recieved my Aviation Maintenance mag and read the article about this site, and right away I knew I had to join. I hope to meet some great people and share our experiences.
