Who shares a work area with sheet metal.. so when you walk in there you have to figure out who you're talking to first.. nightmare... Although the wheel and tire we do as a side job we cover all aircraft on base, and our crash recovery extends to every and any airframe - even a local jurisdiction to help with civilian aircraft. If we had another airframe that required AR here the personnel would probably share a shop with us, but only work on their airframe.
I like meeting other services maintainers and sharing complaints about all the things we do wrong, and wishing we had some of eachothers structure. I worked with a Marine (I would say prior but once a Marine always a Marine), she was a lockheed contractor here and she'd tell us about how stupid some of the things we have to do are. And then tell us how awesome we had it for other stuff.

Al 6 of our Aircraft Techs do most aspects of all the work on all 20 of our aircraft I am sure!
Spare parts? Ebay or grab them off the junker out back!
