Roger's Pass huh? So if I decide to head up there for some avalanche training for backcountry skiing, you guys have a bunk for me?? Yes, I am a pigeon and a sparky, but I did do time in two Tac Hel Sqns supporting the army... artillery even. Some of those guys were in our unit as spotters in the Kiowas. If I could remember some names I'd throw them out there.

And yes, career qualification is good advice. Even as an IE tech, if I want to work as a civilian aircraft mechanic, I still have to produce my qualifications and write the exam. Probably take some additional courses. The military doesn't like to spend all that money training techs only to have them bail out after 5 years and take a job as an AME.
