Recruiter vs. Reality
What the Recruiter Says
You'll keep naval aviation flying — maintaining and repairing the ground support equipment that fuels, powers, tows, and tests aircraft on the flight line and flight deck.
What It's Actually Like
You maintain the equipment that maintains the aircraft, not the aircraft itself. It's the "yellow gear" — tow tractors, hydraulic and pneumatic test stands, mobile electrical power plants — and a lot of it lives on a hot, loud, dangerous flight deck.
