Jeremy Dastrup

I'm on year 8 in the Marine Corps as a KC130J & G550 flight engineer and loadmaster about to get out in 2027. My job has included any type of operational skillset you can think of for the KC130J, including airdrop, aerial refueling, cargo transport, low level flying, expeditionary maintenance, the list goes on. I've accrued over 1500 flight hours and attended loads of Navy, Marine Corps, and civilian courses for maintenance and other things, including Gulfstream maintenance courses. I love it but I feel it's time to transition my skillset to a long term career in the trades. I like working with my hands on engines or performing line maintenance. Ideally I think I'd really enjoy learning to work with different metals for the purpose of machining or fabricating parts, learning quality skills like heritage trades or working with large scale machinery, steam engines really intrigue me. Bottom line is I'm perfectly willing to work hard, I have a good mechanical aptitude, attention to detail, and a good attitude.
