I was a Radio/Teletype/ Crypto Operator in the Army, but because I was an electrician before I enlisted any electrical work that had to be done I did it in my outfit (Hq Co 4th Bn 10 Inf Ft Davis Canal Zone Panama) . We did our own work, not like today were contractor are making billions off the taxpayers doing work that troops uses to do.

I'll tell you my experience.
After AIT you are 12r in title only. The majority of my work has been as a carpentry/masonry specialist and plumber. But I know that's not everywhere, just my experience. I think I've had three project that had anything to do with electrical and then it wasn't much.

I was active duty for 12.5 years 1979 - 1992 did very little work as 12R. The most I did was while I was 1 of 3 Army Engineer Assigned to a military intelligence base in Germany during the cold war 1986 - 1989.
I did do quite a bit more During my 9.5 years in the National Guard and during OEF 2008 - 2017.
