Profile

My name is Josh. I am a senior at North Hall High School, and I have been involved in our baseball program for a total of five years including my senior year. I am likely to attend college playing baseball, so I can continue to play the game I love. I am looking to attend either the United States Air Force Academy or the United States Coast Guard Academy. If I attend one of these schools, I will look to major in mechanical engineering, systems engineering or aeronautical engineering. I will use one of these majors to enroll into flight school post graduation of the academy. Once I have finished flight school on whatever I can get my hands on, I would like to stay in the Air Force for twenty years. Once I retire, I would like to go into the commercial business of flying for Delta, Southwest, American Airlines, etc.

            I gained my internship through a program my county offers to all the schools. We entered an application and went through an interview to be selected for this program. To be selected for this program we had to know what we want to do post high school, and delve into the profession we desire. I have chosen to go in depth with aviation. I am interning at Lanier Flight Center in Gainesville, GA. I am working in the maintenance hangar with four other men on aircraft the company owns or any other plane an owner wants work done on. I have replaced an engine, replaced wheel bearings, take out the interior of the aircraft, take off the wing panels, replaced the oil in an engine, etc.
