Are you there because that&#39;s what your recruiter was pushing, and your ASVAB score was high enough? <br /><br />Basically, in terms of &quot;what not to do&quot; in case you don&#39;t like your job, well, that would be don&#39;t join the military. So that&#39;s what I&#39;m getting at. Why are you there in the Army as a 15T? What did you want of your life when you walked into the recruiter&#39;s office?<br /><br />Picking and choosing a new Army MOS&#39;s in hopes it will be something better when being &quot;Army&quot; is part of your conflict might not be the ideal move. Anything you pick is going to lock you in for an extended period of time should you decide you don&#39;t like it either. <br /><br />********<br />I get it. I came at that crossroads in my life at when I realized that not only did I not want my bosses job, but I didn&#39;t want their bosses job either. Why was I continuing down that path? So I quit, and here I am.

If you stop liking your job, you stop caring about it. Aviation maintenance is not the place to not be liking or caring about your job.

I liked some aspects but not the job overall. The days did not go by quickly. I was certainly not bad at it. I believe I was even good. I transitioned to 15P just before a deployment and enjoyed operations much more. Being a battle NCO in the TOC was particularly enjoyable. Others I know love maintenance and the days fly by.

Crappy leadership. Kills morale immediately and subsequently your ambition.<br />2. Terrible flight schedule management.<br />3. Wrong prioritization of people, equipment, and/or tasks and mission.<br />4. Lack of active listening by supervisor(s).<br /><br />Just a few, but there&#39;s also a good amount of money to be made getting out too. <br /><br />There are special groups available to you because of that job. I.e SMU(Special Mission Unit Aviation groups. NOT 160th... have you checked those?

I went through something similar after leaving the military, and it was hard to find a job that fit what I knew how to do. At first, I looked at different kinds of jobs, trying to find something that felt right, but it wasn&#39;t easy.<br /><br />I thought about jobs close to home but then realized working from home could give me more choices. I started looking for jobs online to find remote jobs in Tucson, which was great because there were lots of different jobs available. After looking for a bit, I landed a remote job in data analysis that really works for me.
