Technical
Mission Systems Technician.
Install, integrate and sustain mission systems — sensor turrets, operator stations, downlinks and ground station equipment — in the field, often far from a supply chain.
First 90 days
Get hands on every mission system in the fleet you support and prove you can return each to service unaided. By day 30 you are doing scheduled maintenance without a second set of eyes. By day 60 you have diagnosed at least one fault nobody had written a procedure for. By day 90 you are teaching a partner-nation technician to do what you do, because that is the point of the job.

- Hands-on experience with EO/IR turrets, mission computers, operator stations or airborne datalinks

The measure of this role is uptime in places where a replacement part is a week away. Improvisation matters; documentation of what you improvised matters more.
