Today I will be introducing you into the life of a CH-47 Army mechanic. I have specific experience with this, as it has been my Uncles occupation (CH-47 Chinook mechanic team-lead) for the last 13 years and counting after retiring from combat. I will be showing pictures from him, videos from the internet, and also have an clip describing the job task of a CH-47 Chinook Mechanic.
A little about a CH-47 Chinook: Their main mission has them used to transport weapons, artillery, soldiers to specific places (water, combat zones, etc), and fuel.

This video gives viewers a more personal visual on understanding Chinooks better, it shows equipment being loaded on, which helps the viewer better understand things that can be loaded on it, and it has useful background knowledge on the CH-47.
I chose this image as one of my graphics because it is a patch my uncle had on his uniform at one point, he told me that “hookers” is one of the slang words that they use because they are CH_47 “Chinook” mechanics
