Review:

A typical day at work as a Hull Technician in the Navy starts early, and ends late. You don’t get much time at home even when you’re not deployed, so you really have to love your job. Working as a hull technician requires you to be very self motivated and have a drive to succeed beyond expectations. Working for any engineering department in the Navy you definitely know they have your back, it’s what they do. The hardest part of the job was the hours, most definitely and the best part was the rewarding feeling of all of the work you did.
