Thanks everyone. I will try to read more than I post so I don't look like some bonehead. I can't wait to get home from this tour, my wife told me my C.I. order came in.

cinda, we work 7 days a week, all year, except Christmas to New Years day. In the summer the mechanics can put more than 200 hrs on the clock in 14 days to keep the aircraft up and flying. In the winter we work in temps down to minus 10f. We do all of our maintenance out in the field, I see the hangar maybe every 4-5 years. My job sounds fun and my schedual looks real good but we need most of our time off to recouperate.
Take care of yourselves.
