The Weirdest, Dirtiest And Wildest Jobs In The Military

Cryogenics Equipment Operator

This job sounds a bit more out there than it really is. Cryogenics is the science that addresses the production, behavior and effects of materials that are subjected to very low temperatures (at or below −238 degrees Fahrenheit). In the military, a cryogenics equipment operator assembles, operates, and maintains liquid oxygen/nitrogen generating plants, storage and aircraft servicing equipment, vaporizing equipment and vacuum pumps. They created the technology that is used to safely store oxygen for pilots’ tanks and the nitrogen which is used for plane tires.
