    Oh wow, so you must be in the Air Force. I used to be stationed in Beale AFB. I did not know they had them anywhere else in the US. U-2s are a dying breed, aren't they like a 30+ year technology? At Beale, they also had global hawks. UAVs are the future bomber.

    I am a veteran of the Navy, I graduated from Universal Technical Institute as a Collision Tech, worked at an Industrial body shop for a while working on wrecked semi trucks, I was in the Air Force Reserves for a while as a vehicle mechanic, then I was working at a Toyota dealership for a while and now I work on semiconductor devices, father of three and a full time student.

    Oh, BTW, I don't recommend going to big name Vocational school like UTI or Wyotech, and all those other ones. I a good community college will get you in the door anywhere but if you want to go for the specialty programs then YOU SHOULD go to one of those. BMW has a paint and body school that will pay you as you learn but you have to go to one of the bigger named schools. Their body techs start out at $24 an hour and can go as high as $40 and hour. I was selected but UTI screwed me over... Long story...

    I also graduated UTI several years ago. Very expensive auto school when you can get the same education for far less $ at a community college if you apply yourself. But it IS a great school.

    As far as what I do, I build police/ fire/ blm and other emergency vehicles. Been working for a private company in the industry for over 10 years now and I love it.It also keeps my mini project going. :D

    I agree . I also went to UTI for the hvac program and learned a lot but school was expensive. If I could of done it again I would of worked in the field 1st and then went to school.
