Steward "Tony"’s Answer

The military will train you in everything you need to know. Depending on the branch you join as even though vehicles remain the same, the duty stations can be a mix of tradition to extreme (combat). One of my three army sons (the middle son) started in the Navy as a diesel mechanic/fireman, he then joined his brothers in the Army as a mechanic and served in Iraq.

You will get to learn that your skills will be a valuable asset to the men & women serving beside you. It is an honorable position to be in and in many cases the hope for your units success will be based on reliable transportation for missions. In the Marine Corps which I served, our tank mechanics where well respected brothers, who under extreme condition could fix a tank with a coconut husks. lol.

Now, I know USSF (Space Force) is looking for people who want to be part of this new future of technology coming about. A guy like you could train up, and up, and up eventually be working on equipment that many of us old veterans could only dream of. I am actually excited for you if that is a route you decide to take.
