I just came back from manufacturer's training from Tuttenauer. The Army sent me to this school to learn how to fix Tuttenauer sterilizers for my job as a medical equipment repairer. The Army just sent me there, the company paid for my training. I'm now a certified Tuttenauer tech. If I ever perform warranty repair work for Tuttenauer i'm entitled to $120 for just showing up and $90/hour for work.

But the best part of the trip was New York! Man! It was a blast! Times square was something else. I am jealous of you guys who are there all the time.



That's a picture of me at the WTC site... It really effects me in my daily life because I'm in the army.

Before I left for New York, I changed my clutch (popped my cherry). New Clutch and New York, what could be better?

NY is quite a place. It gets old quick though. Glad you got that certification.. when you get out it gives you quite a thing to fall back on.

^^ As an Army radar repairer with 6 years experience I can make up to $100,000/year. As a Army medical equipment repairer with my electronics experience in radar I could possibly make the same working for a manufacturer. This would be just one more thing under my belt.

At the school alone I was offered 2 jobs.. One dental equipment in Georgia and a regional medical equipment in Idaho, both $40,000+ jobs. I was freakin' amazed at how much in demand my skills are.

Hmmm so I have 6 years of experience working with Radar's in the AF.. so how do I get that repair job making six figures? lol

Oh also I am planning on taking a road trip to NY once I'm back in the states!! I can't wait.

Unfortunately I didn't get sterilized. Having kids would hinder my lifestyle, I would never want them.
Yeah, it was a good training trip too.
