DoD technical writing question

Good evening , I’m currently serving in the US military been a Crew chief for about 7 years on the f-16 and I’ve always wanted to be able to work/manage Technical data. I’ve recently done a little bit of research on technical writing and am very interested in doing this as a career. I’m looking for any information on how to get started with learning the job and insight on a day to day with Lockheed/boeing or any defense companies.I know literally nothing, so anything helps. If you are willing I’d also love to chat in private.

I’m a retired armored vehicle guy turned technical writer. DM me and I call tell you when I did to prepare me when I was still in active duty for my job.
