I know a few people with this MOS. It's a difficult MOS, and a very important job. You'll be doing a lot of welding and metalworking

I am a 15G and I might be able to help. It's a hard MOS and any given day all the 15T and 15U will bring you the crap they destroy so that you can fix it or replace it. Mist of the time it's just some rivets or screws but sometimes it's a carbon fiber repair. You will also never be welding, sucks but that's why we have machine guys.

You’ll have experience in sheet metal work on all airframes; don’t know too much more about it. Good turn over into the civilian market

Spent 13 years as a 68G/15G. You will do sheetmetal and composite repairs. You will not do any welding. Fabricate parts, fasten them on the aircraft with rivets and other types of fasteners, although mostly rivets. A lot of it is what you make of it. It is a very marketable skill for when you get out of the military. My suggestion is while you are in get your A&P license. With that and your experience you should find it easy to get a job in the civilian sector.

You’re gonna end up being a Uniform or Tangos best friend. I have a few buddies in the airframe shop and they don’t mind the job, but they say it’s a ton of work.

Thanks to all who replied. I just got out of basic on Friday. My first day of class was yesterday. Can’t wait to start training to be MOS-Q

My Father did this for 20 years and retired as a CW2. He had a wonderful career and loved it.
