- Crew chief is the team leader whos duties include: Car setup, pit stop coordination, and communicating with driver.
- Crew chief is an Occupation normally listed under Other Crew. If the credits directly indicate it, then it might also be listed under Camera and Electrical Department, Special Effects or Visual Effects.
- Anyway...Crew chiefs own their jet and if a pilot is really polite and not running late, the Crew Chief will allow the pilot to fly "his" aircraft. Pilots spend most of their time drinking and fucking off doing whatever pilots do between their occasional visits to the jet. Crew Chiefs live with their jet. They stay with their jet in blazing hot days, rain, snow, through the night, during air raids and mortar attacks. Crew chiefs make Postal Workers look like pussies. A typical AC Crew can consist of: The four things a Wingman is allowed to say... The four things a Crew Chief is allowed to say...

| - A crew chief was a soldier who served as chief of a maintenance crew, either via hull-intergrity of various vessels, or otherwise a starfighter ground maintenance personnel.
- Anyway...Crew chiefs own their jet and if a pilot is really polite and not running late, the Crew Chief will allow the pilot to fly "his" aircraft. Pilots spend most of their time drinking and fucking off doing whatever pilots do between their occasional visits to the jet. Crew Chiefs live with their jet. They stay with their jet in blazing hot days, rain, snow, through the night, during air raids and mortar attacks. Crew chiefs make Postal Workers look like pussies. The Crew Chief's job is to ensure the jet is fully mission capable (AKA Fixed)..duh. A task made difficult by the hang over’s nurse during the duty day. This phenomenon is usually cured by depleting the oxygen system. This condition includes the crew chief and occasionally, the pilot. The one exception is the weapons crew...who stay drunk. Crew Chiefs that fuck up really bad or show no talent, cross train to Medical, MPF or some other "Nonner" job on the other side of the fence. A typical AC Crew can consist of:
* A Dedicated Crew Chief: Is too busy to fix his own jet because he is always busy fixing everyone else's.
* An Assistant Crew Chief: Does all the work and whines about it constantly. Always thinks he deserves his own jet...be careful what you wish for!
* Third Wipe: Usually in FTD or cleaning the shitter.
* Fourth Wipe: Still in Tech School - Learning how to spell APU. See Air Force Slang for definition. Although not officially part of a maintenance crew, a crew chief may allow a Load Crew to check argon or bang their heads on the saber drains.
* A Load Crew: Usually three weapons guys (Load Toads) who are crazy enough, or have a low enough ASVAB score, to want to fuck with bombs all day long. They are really good at counting because they have a rounds limiter which counts off rounds fired. Oh they are good at simple math because they can subtract the rounds fired from the rounds loaded to figure out how may rounds are left. This process takes up to 10 Weapons troops due to a limited hands and feet digit capacity. The US Government is working on creating Weapon Troops with 100 fingers and toes to lower cost.
* Specialists commonly known as "Pointyheads" can be useful for redball or blueballs for quick fixes which have to do with pilots fucking up switchology i.e. will not work in OFF mode. Specialist are usually never allowed near the AC unless directed by the crew chief's expediter. The reason being they may hurt themselves or the AC by running into unfamiliar parts of the AC, usually anything behind the cockpit is a danger area for Specialist. Specialists are the experts, which means they think they know what they are doing but can't figure out what is wrong and usually blame it on a crew chief part. "It must be the stab actuator because everything shoots fine". After two days of maintenance the AC is still broke and the specialist magically finds a recessed pin or a broken wire. Specialists are strictly forbidden from the AC until after the first go, and then they have to be watched very closely. Oh...and ...NO I WONT PULL YOUR FUCKING PANEL!!! A Specialist is just that..."Special" or so they think. You can find them huddled up in their truck playing cards or some D&D bullshit. They think they are the coolest. As Clint Eastwood said "You're just a legend in your own mind." The four things a Wingman is allowed to say... 1.
* Two 2.
* Lead, you're on fire. 3.
* I'm bingo fuel. 4.
* I'll take the fat one. The four things a Crew Chief is allowed to say... 1.
* I already fixed that and it's still broke, but don't worry it's written up in the "K's". 2.
* I'll stay late...I've got block training in the AM and need the sleep. 3.
* I'm going for more beer. 4.
* I'll take the fat one.
