[Long Cut]

You got it...NAS Brunswick. I'm an E-6, P-3 Aircrewman when I'm not answering phones.

I did 8 years 7 months before I got out as an AME1(AW). I did the F-4S to F-14A transition in Dallas and the A-7E to F/A-18A transition at NOLA.

Since they were making one AMEC a year and most squadrons had two AME1 billets, I figured I'd be a 13B supervisor or QAR for the next 10 years, so I quit.

It has to be better now. I came in under Reagan and left under Clinton. It sucked pretty badly under Clinton.

My brother just went from MM1 to an Army WO1. He says it's a lot better than it was then.
