BP- Ms. Abby advised he's an airplane guy; I don't know if it has changed, but the rate was ones "job", like MOS in the ground services. Chiefs start @ E-7, the pay grade, associated with rank.
So he's now an ADC: a Chief Aviation Machinist's Mate-- a jet engine mechanic. Basically a combination between a civilian A&P and an airport lineman. They do it all, except the ordnance stuff.
The ADs own the airplanes. The pilots only get to borrow them. And a smart nasal radiator understands that.
Lifer, eh? Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWhat's his rate?
Far out! Way to go, Chief!

ReplyDeleteNow he gets to hang out in The Goat Locker!
Hooah.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteHe's an AD and we are very excited for this new adventure! Thanks All!
ReplyDeleteDoubletrouble, I don't know. I've been told that the lowerChief rate is E-6, but that may be wrong.
ReplyDeleteThe lower Chief rate is E-7. I think she meant what his specialty was. Good on him for making Chief.

I once had a nasal radiator, but had it surgically removed.
