Thanks to the inquisitive, action-oriented nature of Duncan Aviation Airframe Mechanic II Brody Wullschleger, the Duncan Aviation Airframe and Powerplant Apprenticeship programs have received approval from the Veterans Administration for the use of VA Benefits for living expenses while participating in either of Duncan Aviation’s Apprenticeship programs. Although the programs hadn’t yet received US Department of Labor certification at the time Wullschleger went through orientation at Duncan Aviation’s Lincoln, Nebraska, location in August 2018, he realized other veterans would eventually be able to take advantage of their VA Benefits while participating in some of the provided training.
Wullschleger, who had served as an MP in the US Army, had no aviation experience when he started at Duncan Aviation as a Tech Helper a little more than two years ago. While working full time, Wullschleger began studying and attending classes for his Airframe certification.
