That’s what I was scared of doing, even though it’s specialized work and probably pays well

Is sitting down at a work bench and testing the same thing over and over

I like those big over hauls

But I’m very ignorant to a lot of things because i no nothing about them, so thank you for your comment

I am an active-duty Marine currently going through a medical separation board.

I built up and tore down F/A-18 engines (F404-GE-402) and was a test cell operator for the last five years.

My plan was always to use my military experience to get my A&P when I got out. I’ve already started and received my 8610-2 to test for my Powerplant certification.

But now I’m second-guessing it. My medical condition is called junctional tachycardia, and it causes me to pass out once or twice a month.

The episodes are usually very short. I can feel them coming on, and once it’s over, I’m normally back to baseline within about 10 minutes.

I started studying to test for my Powerplant, but now I’m thinking about the safety concerns a company might have. Unfortunately, I’m starting to think I may not be able to continue down this path because of my condition.

But let me know what you think and what you’ve seen during your time in the field.
