    As a farmer and contractor, I use mental math in everything I do. So much that I sometimes worry if I had become overly confident. I imagine this worry plagues every Loadmaster, also.

      Check out special mission aviator. Its as close to being a pilot as you can be other than being a pilot. Your a door gunner on a UH-60 pavehawk. You are in charge of maintenance and inspections of the aircraft before during and after flight and you work with Pararescue operators to conduct CSAR(combat search and rescue). And you get to ride around in a helicopter and shoot 50 cals and mini guns at anything below you

      jwitherly Hello, I’m currently trying to crosstrain into being a load. I’m getting a ton of mixed msgs from different people. Some say it’s amazing others are telling don’t do it and I’m basically going to be a glorified maintainer with that kind of lifestyle. I’m currently personnel and want a job that’s more exciting and where I get the chance to travel more. Is it pretty physically demanding? Or is most of that done by machinery? How is the lifestyle overall? What are your thoughts on being called a maintainer?
