Experiences at US Navy Aviation

Performed testing and troubleshooting of avionics/armament components of the AN/AQS-13F SONAR and APS-145 RADAR systems with test equipment such as Multimeters, oscilloscopes, frequency counters, signal generators, word generators, spectrum analyzers, vector voltmeters, etc. Solved most troubleshooting problems using schematics analysis. Supervise an avionics WC. Worked as a QA collateral duty inspector. Managed ESD, Corrosion, Technical Publications, IMRL and Calibration programs in the WC in a way that granted zero hits in two Aviation Maintenance Inspections....

First it was because I didn't want to drive ships and I couldn't drive subs--plus I hear Nuke schools is rough--but later it was because there is no greater thrill than flying a helicopter!

Learned the basics of flying a plane, attended ground school, physical activity, created presentations viewed by state legislators and senior military officers, maintained databses, and managed an office with 2-3 subordinates

Taking over my LPO position during his absence in a work center with two critical mission test benches down, a huge back log, programs off track and having an Aviation Maintenance inspection coming up. Was able to fix both benches and take back log to 0 in one week, also 0 hits in the inspection.

To troubleshoot endless times and solving problems every day, providing an accelerated career.

Nothing.

You do not have the same constitutional rights as your civilian couterparts.

Keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut.

1. I loved the travel aspect and all the places I got to see. 2. The education and understanding of the world.
3. I met a lot of really great people.

I was responsible for referbishing an outdated and non-usable techical library consisting of over 10,000 manuals.
