Pros

-Working on multi-million dollar aircraft -Completely Hands-On Job - Opportunities to grow (Promotions, free college, opportunities to lead) -Authentic Sense of Camaraderie -Food is Awesome -Pay gets really good @ the 3 year mark -Writing my Resume after getting out was a walk in the park Basically, I joined at 19 years old, not knowing what I wanted to do with my life. This job isn't the easiest in the world, it sucks actually I'll be honest, but I feel like a grew tremendously as a person while I did my time in service. Got my first car, my first girlfriend, my first apartment, actually starting taking college seriously. Had I stayed home, I'd still be the same 19-year old in a 30 year old man's body. Glad I took a chance on this, it worked out pretty well.

Cons

- Insanely long hours -Working weekends/holidays -Time away from friends/family - Staying on your P's and Q's

Pros

Amazing mission, supporting Air Force Wounded Warriors with their needs, both professional and personal. Small teams of care teams who take their job seriously, but still have fun and build community.

Cons

It can be difficult when contractors and DoD civilians work in close proximity. There was some "us vs. them" mentality, but overall, it wasn't a huge problem.
