US Army reviews

Recruiter lied and told me all the benefits of being a crew member. However, if you didn't know, an Apache has 2 seats. You definitely don't get to sit in one of those seats as a crew chief. You watch the pilots take off as you sit on the ground you flightless bird. My recruiter told me that I would get crew rest, flight pay, flight suits, unlimited budgeting, most relaxing work environments. He did not warn me about the fact that I won't just be doing my job as a mechanic, I will be a ground vehicle mechanic, armorer, test measurement and diagnostic equipment coordinator, glorified babysitter and scanner of ID's at the gates. If you got payed for not only ranking up but taking on multiple jobs and killing it at each one then I'd consider staying in.

Pay is not equal to the number of requirements. Bad leadership practices. Work/life balance is almost non-existent.
