    Correct, however I never said that was the amount trained per year which is the only data you’ve shown. I’m not arguing your math, you’re just misrepresenting the problem.

    That depends heavily on branch, in the Air Force one guy takes a tire off and another installs it. In the Navy the guy running Quality Assurance checks on your engine swapout might be the guy fueling your plane or launching you out. Same with the Marines.

    It’s true that the job of removal and installation is fairly dummy proof given you can read and follow instructions, but actually being able to lay out a schematic/circuit diagram and troubleshoot? Absolutely not lol get the fuck out of here.

      I agree that the laying out the schematic is someone who is trained and has a high level skill set. My entire point is that for every 1 smart guy that is trained to do advanced jobs you have 20 dumb guys who are trained to mop the boat. You think that over 20% is the schematics guy and I’m saying LOL that isn’t true, you get fucked, your only “proof” is while when I was in a team of 6 guys who were real smart and trained good so I know the whole military. I gave you verifiable numbers that you say don’t matter. I also gave you civilian numbers and that only 6000 people are trained a year on tank and airplane maintenance in the united states military.

        You gave me numbers that show how many new people are trained in maintenance, you gave zero information about how many people in the military TOTAL are maintenance personnel. I’ve explained why your numbers are meaningless already.

        We don’t train people to mop the boat, everyone does that. That’s my point, every skilled technician also does the menial shit, we just take turns doing it. You don’t know that because you aren’t in the military, or you’d be aware of things like duty section and watch rotation, and how cross trained people are.

        Imagine having the money and space to have someone who’s only job is swabbing a deck, ridiculous. I’ll take my experience and just fuck off I guess because someone looked up the incorrect statistic for the argument and thinks it proves their point.

          Hey listen, it’s OK you think everyone is a trained super genius who is in the military, my only fucking point was you over estimating how many are trained specialist in high tech fields, I said .01% you said 20-40%. I gave you a few percent and will agree on max maybe 10%. And if you dont think the military spends a lot of money on BS or menial jobs I have a bridge to sell you, and proof is they have highly trained tech geniuses wasting time moping floors instead of using their genius for more important things. The military is known for wasteful spending, like spending 10000 on a single screw because they can so I wouldn’t put it past them to pay a person to just mop. And as for my numbers they all can be found on the dod website you fucking dipshit. Enjoy the military, hopefully you don’t get sent off to die for some rich people
