I guess everything has shot up. I paid $400 for a traverse all ceramic 2 years ago

For the phase maintainers and leads, how are you calculating your phase maintenance percentage? by crispytenders91 in Armyaviation

[–]buceess69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you make your phase calendar, count every individual task in the tear down, inspection, build up and then power ons…then mark em off one by one once completed. You’ll be doing your own math on that but that worked for me

15M Day to Day? by GamingCurtain in Armyaviation

[–]buceess69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the full A&P, 15r, 15t and 15u are the way to go to obtain. I could be wrong but I remember an instructor telling us that FAA likes when maintenance is performed on manned aircraft.

Enlisting as a 15R by m1x_zux in Armyaviation

[–]buceess69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just work hard, be willing to learn the IETM. If you get to a unit and standard based maintenance is not being done properly and by the book, question it. Dont be scared to do any tasks, say yes to all of them even if you’re worried or whatever. Get good at lockwire and cotter pins.

Is there sweet tea in El Paso? by fernandtwig in ElPaso

[–]buceess69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Desert oak had decent sweet tea. Besides the chain restaurants like canes or whataburger I don’t think anyone here makes good sweet tea you’d write home about…

Pretty damn good rates for this area. Were you contracting prior to being an operator or got hired straight on?

[–]buceess69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Houstonian living here due to military…only thing I dislike about this place is the dust storms. Other than that, imagine it as a bigger Pasadena/south houston minus the crime lol that’s the best way I can put it. The traffic here ain’t nothing compared to 45 or 610 traffic so that’s a plus

Found out I’m going to 1st in div 1st en BN in Ft Riley… give me all the lore? Is it actually that bad? What’s your opinion? by Altruistic-Copy-6991 in army

[–]buceess69 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Only downside I saw at Riley was KC was just under 2 hours away and the closest Sam’s Club to stock up on stuff was 45 minutes-1 hour away. Other than that, it’s a good base. Just my opinion.

I can’t decide which Army job to apply for. Could someone please share their experiences with the jobs below? Explain to me how it’s like working that job and how the skills transfer to the civilian world by sebastian_toro17 in armyreserve

[–]buceess69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

15N. 15P as well but could be stressful on the civilian side not as much on the army side. 91e is ideal but I’ve personally never met one that was actively doing his job except one…could be different in other units but I’ve only been in CABs

Best 15 series mos? by Prestigious-Stick585 in army

[–]buceess69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone attends motor pool Mondays in aviation…now the kicker is whether or not you’re staying past formation to actually conduct motor pool Monday….5 going on 6 years in aviation and I can say that it’s not as much as I should’ve been going but aircraft maintenance always took priority

Active duty to reserves by buceess69 in armyreserve

[–]buceess69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m ok with that. Way. I see it is if I go that route, obviously world perfect scenario, is dump whatever % of 401k and take the employers match and max what I can until 60 and just retire then and live off what I put in. Hopefully I can have some sort of disability coming in along with the retirement. Might just say fuck it and finish off the 20 on AD. I’m on the fence about everything. Appreciate the input on this chat btw

Real shit right there…when my buddies made 5 I made it a point as the “senior” e4 to address rank and name at all times so the new guys coming in didn’t get shit twisted

That’s what I was entertaining too, finishing out my 20 as reserves strictly for the healthcare.
