Accountant working in IT for the past 16 years. Kind of a fish out of water but it seems to work.

 

[Rob Stafari]

I've recovered a few dozers (small and large), Bobcats, and even an excavator. The best was a Lull forklift 400' off the beach fully submerged. We were "supervised" by a Coast Guard vessel but they wouldn't help with any of the rigging.

I don't have a "real job" any longer for health reasons (ankle, hips, lower back) - but I used to be an Army officer.

You sir would impress me. My 3yr old and I got to climb on a Kenworth 75 ton rotator last weekend and those things are awesome.

 

[USMC615]

I work avionics and flight controls on C-17's, DoD civil service for Uncle Sam. We do Depot Level maintenance on C-17's, C-5's, C-130's, F-15 Strike Eagle Fighters, and E-8 JSTARS at Robins. I worked A-6/E Intruders and EA-6/B Prowlers in my younger Marine Corps days. It pays the bills...what else could ya ask for, except the Powerball numbers.

The industry has come a long way in the last 35 years. When I started it was all chains, cables, and slings. Hydraulics have revolutionized towing & recovery. My buddy doesn't have any rotators but I've seen them in action and am just amazed at the power they have and what they can do.

Unfortunately my health issues are preventing me from continuing that work. If it was only driving I'd be ok but it can be a physically demanding job and that's not good for someone with emphysema.

 

[USMC615]

Seems like health issues creep up more and more as we get a little older. I turned 49 two days ago, and I sure can't handle the outside, heat work on airplanes like I used too. We keep twelve C-17's under hangar roofs at all times, so at least there is a little break from the sun. We work another four to six C-17's outside in the full blown sun...and it sux when ya gotta deal with them. Ya just wanna crawl under the belly of it and hunt the shade.

I have a friend that also works down at Robins AFB as a civil servant. He has moved mostly to the C130s now. He's a neighbor and personal friend. He recently helped out with a project we did on a plane in Brazil.
