Problem of it is with most military mechanics is that is what they are, parts changers. In the Army 1st level mech can make minor reapirs (change small parts) and trouble shoot. 2nd level gets a little deeper into it but still isn't allowed to do engine or tranny rebuilds, they do replace whole componants and can do things like head gaskets. 3rd level rebilds things, most often the only service members even close to that are paper pushers and the mecahnics are civilian employees.

Now the reason being is the active military is regulated in size by congress. I can draft a trained mechanic, truck driver, short order cook and a lot of other jobs off the street. Can't draft an infantry, artillery, scout or tanker. Those you have to train. So a lot of jobs are civilian now to allow the military to have more combat people on active duty. I really feel sorry for the kids who think they are going to come out of the service as a fully trained mechanic.
