I want to get out of my current line of work before I get really old and dispirited!  :chin:

I've taken some of those over the years, the results were vague,
and nobody ever seemed to know how to narrow them down for me.   :bangbang: :bangbang: :bangbang:

When my Recruiter showed me the Ratings book, as soon as he hit the Aviation portion I knew I was going to work on Aircraft. I haven't worked on Aircraft since but I learned valuable theories and methods working on Aircraft wiring and instrumentation.

Well, now that you're older and have a few miles under your belt you might be able to narrow it down to 2 or 3 choices.

It's good that you got that guidance. The places I've been for testing had no particular reason to bother with me.
Looks as if it's up to me!  :viking:

Where does you head hurt?  I've found that if it's in the back, it's usually tension; in the front it's usually sinuses.

Then find one. There are other Jags out there. One will be right for you!  :viking:

I want this to be the last summer that I work two low-skilled dead-end jobs! 
I want to find a better way to make a living!  :pirate:
