Mechanics should have to get DOT Medicals  

in the AF on the fast fast swept wing bomber I worked on (flightline)

No one worked alone.  One easy job?  2 guys get dropped off at the jet and must stay in eye contact of each other so no one sabatoges anything.

Drug use fell under this clause also.  Go to the hospital for a back ache?  Here's some motrin now get back to work.

They regulated what you were prescribed and you were never prescribed anything more potent than motrin.  They didn't need any psycho wack jobs hopped up on crack or whatever else tooling on a billion dollar thermonuclear delivery system.

Yes, that was me.  You F,cks have no idea the $#!+ I know, or the experiences I've had and now I just wrench on easy peasy helicopters.  Under employed....but it pays the bills.
