So I went to a job site to help a technician and came to the realization that it sucks to be the NUB again. It sucks to be the “hold the ladder” guy or the “tool bitch” when you used to be the one directing that.
On one hand you get the chance to learn, to expand your practical knowledge and add more skills to your tool box. On the other hand you feel like a load on the system and after all this time, I am not used to that feeling or having that problem.
Work hard, show willingness to learn and expand and everything will end up alright…right? I hope so.
Starting over. Life after the military.
