Took Metal Shop for 4 years in High school.
Joined the Navy in 1977. When looking at job fields I saw Machinist, However a Machinist Mate in the Navy works on steam plants. I did see a field for Machinery Repairman which is a Machinist and signed up for that. After Boot Camp went to a 12 week school in San Diego. First 2 weeks was hand tools, drill presses, and grinding tool bits. Next 6 weeks was lathes. Then 2 weeks of Milling and the last 2 weeks doing repair type work. Spent time on 3 different Repair Ships with large Machine Shops. Went to an Advanced Navy School in 1984. 18 Weeks of Precision Grinding, Turret Lathes, and advanced Milling. Toward the end of My Naval Career in the late 90's did I do any CNC.
In the penultimate grade of schooll (I was 16 then) I started working in the laboratory of the university, where I made a project for further admission.
I started by working at a lathe, which was 2 times older than me Then I was milling, circular grinding, surface grinding, wire-EDM, thread grinding, gear hobbing. And finally, a modernized CNC milling machine, which is 3 years older than me. Over the course of a year, I was able to do a little bit of work on almost all basic equipment.
Studying at the university lasted until the first exams, after which my studies ended ingloriously))))) I stayed to work at my department as a technician, prepared laboratory work and did my own projects, I was a little able to make parts to order.
I still work a little at the university, the academic environment is a very exciting thing.
