It took about an additional 2 years in the field to "get good".
I went to Marine Engineering school to become 3 rd Assistant after taking a Coast Guard test.
VERY DIFFICULT and did not finish...
I also went to Aircraft Maintenance school to get my FAA A&P license.. That was fun!!! Never went into the field but learned a bunch of practice stuff this gear head could use....
Went to night school to get my Associates degree. What a joke. They just wanted my money for the piece of paper with AA on it...
Each case life got in the way...
And so it goes...
