I was responsible for ensuring our unit had the equipment needed for daily maintenance on aircraft. In a typical day, I would inspect each piece of equipment for proper operation, perform basic repairs, fuel/lubricate equipment, and exchange inoperable gear with our supporting unit for gear in working condition. I learned many things in the Marine Corps, how to operate different pieces of aviation support equipment, leadership, dependability, discipline, and ownership of ones own actions, among many others. For me, the most enjoyable part of the job was showing up to work everyday with my closest friends and getting to travel the world. The hardest part of my military service was the short notices of things like shift changes and deployments, essentially never knowing what your long term or short term schedule could be.
