This was back in 82 so I should have expected it… my dad was a mechanic and I learned from him so I was a bit blindsided… I got out of mechanics and the military and into self employment in computers so things are indeed better. Thank you for the kind wishes!
When I joined the army I was trained to be a generator mechanic. My final test to graduate I scored 99%… my first duty station, my bosses didn’t like female mechanics and put me in the tool cage, signing tools in and out… I hated it. Glad you have support from your male coworkers and manager!
Not minding the growing pains at all! Thankful to be here.
Ohhhh that’s hilarious! I didn’t notice that in their comment! 😄
