- May 17, 2016, 22:37:34 PMI know it's an old thread but oh well. Medically retired from the USAF (MOS/AFSC: Vehicle body/paint and General Purpose Vehicle mechanic:Humvees, MRAPS, etc.) Sold H-D's after that for about 6 months, left there to work as a civilian at Tinker AFB as a Forklift Mech. I didn't have enough exp. on forklifts and we parted ways. Now I am a licensed Mobile Locksmith. Good times.
