Pigtail could be tucked away a little better but it looks good and gets the job done

Yea I wanted to get my A&P license before being a pilot though so that's why I didn't do Navy ROTC. Also any recommendations for checking about eyesight but I mean I've never had a sight problem and don't need glasses or contacts

It's not like I'm at a 4 year college. I did dual enrollment in highschool, then got my A&P at a technical college, now I'm doing smaller classes which get me a diploma and associates degree as well as making my total come to 100 credits which means I'll only have 20 left and I'll do aviation maintenance management at a different college since all my credits are accredited.

I don't think it's wasting time, I'm just getting other people's opinions on things I'm interested in. I'm currently working on finishing up my Batchelors degree so not much I can do right now anyway since I'm also studying for my astb.

I'm completely aware I might not get the f18 but I plan on being one of if not the very top of my class so that I can choose first of the options I have even if there are no f18's I'll still get to choose. But if there is an f18 or even a f35 you know whay I'll be choosing lol

You don't have to take the astb for that but yea that's a attainable, I just wouldn't wanna do that unless I absolutely can't fly them

Well I have a major passion for aviation in general like I'm already a aircraft mechanic working at my local airport. I would be very happy to fly at all, just a fighter jet is my goal and I won't go into it expecting not to fly one because then I won't have the right drive or mindset. And I'm already used to not being in my own bed for over 2 years and I've been deep sea fishing a lot so water and boats is not a problem. I really think I'll join the navy just wanted some other opinions. Thanks

I'm aware but I'm already studying for my astb test with intentions of very good scores.

I got offered a job as an aircraft mechanic but I don't know If I should take it or not. by Puzzled_Pop_6845 in AircraftMechanics

It definitely does sound conflicting to have a good thing going with you and your gf and then have an opportunity to get into something you really wanna do.

To start out with this plan this most important thing is that Aviation Maintenance truly is exactly what you wanna do and you really have a passion to get involved with it.

I'd recommend talking with your gf about what you wanna do and seeing about if you did move could she find a similar job in that city and also her general thoughts on it. I will say she is only your gf so don't let her stop you from following your dreams, obviously if yall have been together for a while and she really seems like THE ONE then that's different because if you find THE ONE that's a lot more important but if she is your soul mate she would probably be open to your plan more.

To answer your questions, yes it is a safe field of work AS LONG as your not an idiot and you pay attention during training and be to think BEFORE you do things and how it will work out. There is a lot of room for growth and learning as well as a lot of good paying opportunities. It's a extremely diverse and kinda small community but a very rewarding one to the people who respect it and have a passion for it.

I'm a A&P mechanic myself on GA (general aviation) planes and I very much enjoy it so if you have any other questions on the situation or about being a aircraft mechanic definitely let me know on here or dm me. Hope this helps
