Heavy Crew Chief Question?

Well, if you can get a heavy crew chief slot you gotta get to a 17 base. When I was in tech school, they would let guys swap orders. So if you don't get orders to a 17 base, you can try to swap with someone that gets those orders. The 17 bases I know of are Mchord, Elmendorf, Charleston, and McGuire, so when your in basic and they let you type the bases you want to go to on the computer put those ones in. There are some other ones too, but those are the ones I can think of at the moment. If you end up doing NDI, they make alot of money in the civilian sector, and its a pretty easy job once you get the hang of it, so don't get down if thats all you can get. Still put in for a 17 base, and if you want once you get qualified, you can help out the crew chiefs and get qualified on all that stuff, and maybe get a chance to fly once in a while, I did that as an engine guy thats a maybe though, it would be up to the supervision, but its worth shot. I am on C130s tho, so they might handle things differently on the 17 side.
