Any active duty AD, what's it like being you?

From what I have been told by my old recruiter who is an AS and worked close to AD's...he said that AD's have a relatively laid back job. But,it' not easy all the time. Sometimes you work non stop for a couple months and you will have other times where you will not have parts to fix an aircraft. Thus, creating down time. But,I am sure if you have down time from your rate you will be cleaning the ship or wherever you are. My current recruiter who is an 8 year nuke said that AD's are known as lazy. I do not know if this helped you, but this is all of the information I have. I picked this rate because of the opportunities it brings after the Navy. A friend of mine who was an AD from 1995-2007 got a job at Rolls-Royce making close to $100,000/year.
