MC-130j Crew Chief by trade, but I eventually transitioned myself to back shop (Aero Repair). We repair/rig/remove/install the landing gear and flight controls. As a secondary we serve as crash damaged/disabled aircraft recovery, and also as a third we serve as wheel and tire shop. Lots of cool tools to play with.
E-4, looking to make E-5 first time next year so rank can catch up with my age. Also plan to go Guard or Reserve once my active time is up. Concentrate on school and earn three times as much doing what I do now as a contractor.

I'm an airframer on KC-130Ts in the Navy, basically the same thing as you except a little more broad. Flight controls, landing gear, hydraulics, composites, sheet metal, assist a good bit with the engine mechs as well.
