Got this from an E gal pal of mine
You've ever stood in jet exhaust to get warm...
You've ever taken a nap between stabs...
You've ever washed your hands with Turko (how is that actually spelled??)...
You can identify at least 3 toxic chemicals (JP-5, hyd fluid, 23699) by smell, sight, &/or texture...
You know & appreciate the many uses for cheese cloth...
You've ever done the Speedy-dry shuffle...
You see the numbers 1, 2, or 3 & automatically associate them with launching...
You've ever crossed your fingers & chanted "hot brakes hot brakes hot brakes"...
You've ever taken a nap in an intake...
You can sleep through jet noise but the heat coming on in your room wakes you up...
Eating in the galley is a treat...
You've ever fought over the "good" cranial...
The words "compass rose" make you shudder...
You dream about "going to your shop"...
You worry about herpes from a whistle...
You've ever peeled an orange & left black marks on it from your hand...
You can chain a jet in under 3 minutes...
You think 8 hours is an early day...
You've ever done donuts on a tractor...
You've ever dreamt about pushing someone into a running intake but won't because you have to clean it...
But you know you still love your job!!
think about it...
your parents didn't trust you with their car but the government trusts you with multi-million dollar aircraft...silly government...
