Started out what ended up being a 36 year career working on the C-5. 8 years active duty and another 28 years working civil service as a civilian employee of DOD. Worked as a pneudraulic tech my entire career. Had opportunities to move into other things along the way. But between the enjoyment of troubleshooting problems and the constant travel opportunities I chose to stay in the field. I moved up, but not out of the field. The C-5 is an amazing aircraft. No matter how many times I flew on it or just watched it lift slowly into the air. It never cease to amaze me that something that BIG could even fly!
