Was or are any of the people you were working with a A&P? I was a licensed FAA examiner for a long time. Was with the military overseas and helped the helo and fixed wing military guys get their A&P rating. Sure helps in the job market.
Its well worth having and anyone you worked with who does have a A&P can sign you off for the experience needed to take the writtens. Takes 18 months "hands on" experience for the airframe or engine exam. The practical is on your shoulders.
Here is my 1947 fabric covered Aeronca on the left. On the right is a 1948 Aeronca Sedan, one of only 1000 or so ever made and one of about 400 left flying around the world.
No starter, have to hand prop it, no radio, carry a handheld and its just plain flying and a lot of fun!
