Are you there because that's what your recruiter was pushing, and your ASVAB score was high enough? <br /><br />Basically, in terms of "what not to do" in case you don't like your job, well, that would be don't join the military. So that's what I'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's office?<br /><br />Picking and choosing a new Army MOS's in hopes it will be something better when being "Army" 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'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't want their bosses job either. Why was I continuing down that path? So I quit, and here I am.Response by CPT Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 4 at 2021 1:34 PM2021-08-04T13:34:00-04:002021-08-04T13:34:00-04:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member7158247<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you don’t like your job then you should probably not do it anymore. 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.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 4 at 2021 2:22 PM2021-08-04T14:22:46-04:002021-08-04T14:22:46-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member7158554<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Go be a recruiter and think about jobs you want to do next. consider a new occupation. go somewhere where they take care of youResponse by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 4 at 2021 4:28 PM2021-08-04T16:28:47-04:002021-08-04T16:28:47-04:00CW3 Private RallyPoint Member7159363<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Can you drill down a bit deeper and determine specific aspects of your job you don't like?<br /><br />I also started out in aviation maintenance (avionics) and found it to be tedious. 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.Response by CW3 Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 4 at 2021 10:15 PM2021-08-04T22:15:57-04:002021-08-04T22:15:57-04:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member7160005<div class="images-v2-count-1"><div class="content-picture image-v2-number-1" id="image-618200"> <div class="social_icons social-buttons-on-image">

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'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?Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 12 at 2021 4:52 AM2021-08-12T04:52:18-04:002021-08-12T04:52:18-04:00PO2 Private RallyPoint Member8663737<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Switching careers after working as a 15T for a while can be tough, especially when you're starting to not like your job. 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'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.
