00:05.949 --> 00:08.630
So we work on the Black Hawk helicopter .

00:09.220 --> 00:11.539
As a Black Hawk mechanic , our daily

00:11.539 --> 00:14.180
duties usually consist of just visual

00:14.180 --> 00:16.458
inspections . So we'll have , you know ,

00:16.458 --> 00:18.569
every time they fly , there's a daily

00:18.569 --> 00:20.569
visual inspection . There's lots of

00:20.569 --> 00:22.736
inspections that are hourly based , so

00:22.736 --> 00:22.260
there's a lot of maintenance that is

00:22.260 --> 00:24.979
based off time . It's very seldom that

00:24.979 --> 00:27.312
something does break , but when it does ,

00:27.312 --> 00:29.535
we jump right into action and we'll get

00:29.535 --> 00:31.790
that bird fixed . We'll do everything

00:31.790 --> 00:35.470
from that to , uh , blade replacements

00:35.470 --> 00:38.779
and engine swaps . I chose this

00:38.779 --> 00:41.819
MOS because I'd like to eventually get

00:41.819 --> 00:44.009
my airframe and power plant license .

00:44.700 --> 00:46.700
Just getting to work on them , it's

00:46.860 --> 00:49.819
pretty cool . Be like you see them fly

00:49.819 --> 00:52.259
over and then like , hey , I actually

00:52.259 --> 00:55.930
worked I worked on that so . So

00:55.930 --> 00:58.097
somebody who is thinking about joining

00:58.097 --> 01:00.319
aviation , you know , I'd say if you're

01:00.319 --> 01:02.430
if you're good with wrenches and even

01:02.430 --> 01:02.409
if you're not , you know , the

01:02.409 --> 01:04.576
specialized schools that they've got ,

01:04.576 --> 01:06.798
uh , they'll teach you how , you know ,

01:06.798 --> 01:09.020
when I was going through , there's guys

01:09.020 --> 01:08.449
that had never even turned a wrench and

01:08.449 --> 01:11.050
they came out scoring pretty well .

01:12.910 --> 01:15.470
I just say go for it , you know , I

01:15.470 --> 01:17.581
have no regrets whatsoever . You know

01:17.581 --> 01:19.692
there's so many , so many things that

01:19.692 --> 01:21.748
I've learned and so many life skills

01:21.748 --> 01:21.190
that I've learned along the way that

01:21.190 --> 01:22.459
I've been able to apply in my life .
