My son's MOS (assigned job specialty) is a CH-46 frame mechanic... but rumor has it that these guys are being switched over to the Osprey, as, they are the new standard. The hope is that my son will be one of those switch-overs. Here are a few of my thoughts on it. The Marines and Air Force are the only branches so far who are utilizing it... more will be bought for them as they faze out the CH-46s.
My son's reservist job is up at Edward's Air Force base, where they have some stationed... chances are good they will want to train the next generation of Osprey mechanics and have them get hands on these machines.
