Just do me a favor... If you ever Eject... Don't go thank Life Support first okay?  They get you dressed, and don't go thank Survival first either... all the they do is pack the chute and we inspect it.  Thank EGRESS first!!!! We get you out.  Pisses me off so much when the pilot doesn't even know who is responsible for the system.  Every pilot that's ejected here had to be told who was responsible.  I'm not doubting your knoloedge of us wrench turners; however, I haven't met a pilot yet that really knows who we are, unless he/she is O5 and above.

yup, back then there were 2 E-4 ranks...SRA and Buck SGT........not sure how they do it now...but I know they changed it....the thought being there was too great a gap between E-4 (SRA) and E-5 (SSGT), so they dreamed up E-4 Buck SGT. to close this gap. At least that is the way I remember it explained. Same 3 stripes as SRA but the star in the center was colored in, this was the distinguishing factor between the 2 ranks.

You lucky motherfucker.  Your in the 1% bracket who got what they wanted and went to Aviano.

I was in the USAF.  I was a 3C051 and was stationed at a toilet bowl of a base called Altus Oklahoma.  What a fucking dump, and the people their were even dumpier.

USAF, E-4, 2A552 - Helicopter Maintenance Journeyman (crew chief)

Here's what kills me, Most aircrew i've met (quite a few) have yet to make the connection that the "inferior" maintenance troops are what keeps your sorry asses in the air. Backshops, line, whatever, don't piss us off, because we keep you alive in more ways than you know. College degree to fly it, High School diploma to keep it that way. 

And don't get me started on "Aerial Gunners" aka "Ramp Commanders!"
