I think most of my job list is going to end up being in aircraft maintenance, and while I'd be excited to land one of those, I'm also a little scared, what if I suck at it?

I'm kind of a nerd so I'd study hard through tech school. It sounds like a job where you're always learning and getting better at it, which is exciting to me. But, with no experience in anything mechanical, what kind of person could be good at this type of job? If you're in mx please weigh in.

Also, what is the environment like, specifically if you were joining as a small & feminine woman? I've known a couple people in maintenance roles in the army and it sounds like a very macho environment with rampant discrimination, but that's a different branch and probably depends on the base & command too.

I've seen a lot of people on here tracking their leave date or job assignment, or finding out they've been "soft booked," through the aim high app. I have mine set up and connected to my recruiter, but he hasn't uploaded anything to it, it doesn't even show my ASVAB scores. I was wondering, does the app become a more important part of the process at some point, or do some recruiters choose not to use it? As far as I can tell right now, its only purpose to me is as a packing list.
