Having spent 10 years as a ground engineer I can thoroughly recommend it ! however, Ive now been a ALM in the SH World for nearly as long , best job in the world! My tech knowledge is second to not one Air eng , I service my Cab and carry out minor rectification work . OK so we are away alot but thats part of the fun . As for my fixed wing counterparts, well go check out the ALM's job on the new C17 and J models , bye bye Air Eng's. As a branch we are the most rapidly expanding in the Air Force and one with the brightest future. It can't be that bad Air Eng's are asking questions on swapping their brevets already ! Check it out my friend! Go to go another conflict to get stuck in to
