Hello sweetfeet, A military diesel mechanic and a civilian one are not the same thing. I was both. There are levels of repair-replace that a mechanic can do in the military. Like someone said you are basically changing-swapping main components on some level. I was 3RD echelon-level mechanic. Most of the time we would be swapping trans or axles assy's. Head gasket ones in awhile. Brakes, water pumps all was part of my duties. Electrical work was not done in my level. That was 2Nd level fuel and electric. So you see that is a difference, a he wont be exposed to all faces of repair, but he will certainly get a good start, and do the rest of the training when he gets out. I did just that! HE will need math, a good understanding of Ohms law, as well as computer skills for sure. Many componets are electronic and computer controlled. I wish him well! Guido.
