Yup I remember that song and remember getting screwed around. Started in 83 as a YTEP Airframe tech. Showed up on course and we were told when the year was over none of us would remain Airframe techs. Of 25 only 3 passed.
The rest of us basically said whats the use. Drink at the A club and sit...
I retired (Ytep) in Feb 2008. They told me the story of waiting 5 to 10 years. I said the heck with it.
