My job is kinda hard to explain because it does so many things.

I work at a PMEL (Precision Measurment Equipment Laboratory). Basically, anything that needs measuring in the Air Force, I calibrate the equipment that measures it. That includes electronics- volts, amps, ohms, watts, radio frequency, and rf power. It's also physical/dimenstional things like weight (We actually have a machine that if you weigh a piece of paper, then write your name on it, it can tell the difference in weight from the ink), length, volume, torque, speed, force, etc.

My job can be tedious because everything is so anal, haha. But when you think about it, there isn't anything that can't be traced back to my job. Lol, someone told me that, and I was sure I could think of something that didn't need all those bs measurments to be accomplished, but I really couldn't think of something. So go ahead and give it a shot (I just know Patton will come up w/ something, lol)!
