If you don't already know, I am an Avionics Specialist on the F16 Fighter Jets here in Korea. It is a pretty awesome job considering all the crazy things I see everyday and learn, but very stressful. As an Avionics Specialist we deal with a variety of systems that the pilot uses, anywhere from Flight controls, to Radar and everything in between. Basically the pilots break the jet, and we slave away to keep them flying! It is very rewarding and even though a lot of times I am miserable because of the long hours and weekends, I still don't think there are a whole lot of jobs that could top it. Other than photography of course!
Today I was able to fix one of our Jets in time for "first go" of the day, even though it had been broke for various reasons that we thought would ground it for days! Its always rewarding when you know you worked hard to be able to get that jet to fly that day when it was broke..
Now its off to a to a LONG OVERDUE 4 day weekend! I cant even remember the last time I had a three day weekend, or even a "full" two day weekend! Im loving it, AND I have a portrait photo shoot tomorrow which is going to be amazing! So yea.. if you cant tell Im pretty stoked right now..
The ONLY thing that could make this weekend better right now would be if ashley was here.. I miss you so much ash.. and weekends just are never the same..
Hope everyone else has a great Memorial weekend as well!!
