I know this doesnt have much todo with the fourm but:


Anyone have any ideas who I could work for when I get out and join the civilian world? I want to stay in the aviation world. Thanks.

I DONT KNOW ABOUT AVATION,

BUT TF-34'S ARE USED AS CONGENS IN ALOT OF PLACES,JUST TAKE THE FAN BLADES OFF AND RE PLUMB IT CHANGE A LITTLE HERE AND THERE AND BINGO,

POWER PLANT! WE HAD 3 TO RUN BACK UP POWER FOR THE PLANT AND THE DUMB A$#'S WOULDNT LET ANYONE WITHOUT A "DEGREE" TOUCH THEM SO THEY CONTRACTED IT ALL OUT AND ONLY HAD MAYBE 1 RUNNING AT ATIME DUE TO INSPECTION ETC,,,,

A CREWDAWG LANDED A JOB IN TEXAS WORKING COGEN FOR MOBLIE OIL DOING THAT SAME JOB.

If you're looking for a fed job say at one of the depots here's the best place to start looking, just put in where you would like to work and let it search....

Ugly But Well Hung

There's always Boeing and Raytheon too.

http://www.williams-int.com/high/default.htm

Their Fj Series engines are pretty close in design to the TF-34 engines.

They also do allot of small jet engines for Cruise and UAVS.

I reccomend getting into a Company like this. They build, Test-Cell and ship. All the Components are manufactured in house at the same facilities. From here you could climb into the The top 3 PW, GE, RR.

Reaserch is at Walled Lake Michigan and the Production and Build is at Ogden, Utah (close to the HAFB depot)

I spent a winter as a Contract Engineer on the Tactical Tomahawk Program. Being an Aeronautical Design Thermal Dynamics Engineer. Having this exposure to Propulsion design manufacturer was a Good Career builder. I even had the opportunity to build engines step by step and test cell.

Most Aerospace jobs are very narrow, and you dont get to see the full spectrum of the product under one roof.

If you want to grow a career i recommend getting into a company like this.

You may find that you may want to become a Machinest, Engineer, Materials QA, inspector, Planner etc. Or continue on doing the Jet Mech.


Most Jet mech jobs are service center buis jet stuff. the Airline require Very heavy College and FAA Certs. Which make them tough to get into straight out of the service.

With Williams and others they grow you from apprentice up to full prficiency. With your real world experiance it makes this transition easier and solid investment into your future.

If interested in staying in the mililtary part-time. You could work for the AF Reserves or Air National Guard as a full-time civilian technician.

ARTS,COULD BE A GOOD WAY TO GO.

THERE'S ALOT OF A&P CERT FOLKS OUT THERE TOO,SO USE YOUR MILITARY EXP.
AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
YOU'D BE SURPRISED JUST HOW MANY AREAS YOU CAN USE YOUR TRAINING THAT DONT INVOLVE A JET

It opens oppertunities and is very hard to get back once you lose it, so I've heard.

The best place to start is with the Transitional Assitance Program seminars provided by your Family Support Center. I just went through it and let me say it was worth the three days I spent away from work. They covered areas such as where and how to apply for not only federal jobs but also jobs with civilian contractors.
