Production Planner and Scheduler
4 years at NNS
“I’m now a production planner, but I worked in dimensional and non-destructive testing first and then as an inspector. I am also in the Army National Guard as a black hawk mechanic. On submarines, we were looking at very specific things that go into very specific places. If something there failed and we still sent it, we could have a catastrophic incident over a teeny, tiny bolt having the wrong thread count. It’s the same with black hawks. This is incredibly important work. The small parts matter. What you’re doing matters.”
