Episode 17: Rachael Johnson

Welcome to VETERANS CONNECTED maintenance and reliability expert and military Veteran Eric Bevevino interviews military advocate Rachael Johnson. While working in naval aviation, Rachael felt immense pride after bringing an aircraft to operational status after it spent months as non-operational. It didn’t matter whether the aircraft was in a scheduled inspection, went “down” in some other state and needed a rescue, or saw the aircraft flying out to the carrier for their first day of certifications. It was working in aviation, where she also found that she loves having to think on her feet and adapt quickly to change. Tune in as they exchange their experiences and discuss the transition from the military to industry, and the paths and resources that led them to where they are today…
