The Weirdest, Dirtiest And Wildest Jobs In The Military

Crew Chief

An Air Force crew chief’s job is to keep a military aircraft, which is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, in the best shape possible. They are in charge of day-to-day maintenance on the aircraft, diagnosing malfunctions, replacing parts, conducting detailed inspections and keeping records. It doesn’t sound all that wild, until you consider the cleaning aspect. They have to climb into the filthy exhausts to clean them, as well remove any bird matter on the plane (often the aircraft hit birds while flying). Crew chiefs get covered with grease and fluids daily. Not to mention they have to work in hot weather conditions inside a stagnant protective aircraft shelter.
