As a ROV Tech my job was to learn a completely new job in both a high paced scenario but with safety always being key. I started learning protocols and flow of electricity and fiber optics. How things where broke down and put together. I was asked to test myself in many areas I had not known I may be good at. Operationally I was challenged at first as I had never been in this field of work but put my best foot forward. After a while things became routine and comfortable to me, and I excelled as a tech and a pilot. In my DTS Tech career I was in charge of stand alone tooling and some ROV support style tooling. My job was to maintain the tools functionality as well as sometimes building from scratch both hydraulically or electrically.

Being a wheeled mechanic responsible for maintaining a full motor pool being ready to convoy out was always exciting. From working on Caterpillar engines, Allison transmissions, mounted tow missile loaders, ETC , to the basic tire change and washing a vehicle down on a wash rack. It was a learning experience for me and made me grow from a boy to a man while instilling valves into me.
