I just swore in yesterday 20190205. I scored a 67 on my asvab. And the jobs I had in mind were not available but AM was among many other jobs. My grandfather served 20yrs as an AE so I thought it would be a good fit for me. Mind you I'm 27yrs old jumping into this. Your videos and nicky's both have been a great help and influence

When do you ship?
I just filled out my paperwork yesterday and I should be headed to MEPS Monday, so I haven't selected my job yet. I have talked with a few older family friends who served in the Navy and they said that AM is definitely a great way to go. I have to finish school up so my ship date isn't until after August. Thank you for making this video! It really helped kind of solidify my decision before I get to MEPS.
I just swore in as an AM this past Thursday and I leave for basic August 5th. Hooyah Navy ⚓️

I'm currently in Meridian, MI at LS A-School and it gives me something to look forward to in the navy, hearing all the things you got to do gets me excited to get into the fleet. Your videos inspire me to keep trying my hardest, even at the little things, like shining my boots. Thank you.

AM2. You, like I did, seem to have a lot of Navy built up inside of us. We both did our 4-5 years and moved on in our lives (by way of getting our bachelor's degree) but still have a desire to talk about our Navy career. Do you think you talking about and reminiscing, like i did, our Navy career some years after the fact is a symptom of PTSD or some other shit? Real question here and not hating.

Hey arnt you JTsuits gaming channel??
I was an AMS in HS-3 based out of NAS JAX attached to the USS Saratoga. Pretty much went through the same experience as you but different locations. Was wondering how nervous you were the first LSE experience, especially that first night landing when you hear the Air Boss say "Need an LSE, spot 3!" Also being an LSE, you had total control of of who could enter and exit the rotor span and giving directions to your officers, including your XO and CO.

I know there are jobs this relates to. but, my question is how good are these jobs and what is the probability someone fresh out of the service would get them?

Hey man, I'm heading to basic in just over a week here and you've been a big help. I'll be going in as an AE or AT, and thought I might ask if you had any rate specific advice as you worked closely with them. Also, what's the best recruit leadership position to take if you had to recommend one? I'm tryna make that E-3, lmao.

Hey JT! I’m leaving 2 October 2019 for boot and I’m going in as an AM, so I love checking out your videos! Could you clarify how long do we actually spend in A school and C school before we make it to the fleet? Thanks ✌🏻
My Navy experience will be similar, I'm leaving as an AO and will go to Pensacola for A school. Aviation Mechanic is what I wanted for my rate
hey so this video is a bit old but i just swore in and everything, I got my 8 year contract as a PACT and i think i learned a good amount from this video, I think I'm looking forward to it and after my apprenticeship i was most likely going to choose AM, to be the job i go with, i was also wondering on how the living condition are on a carrier because i haven't talked to anyone that has been on one yet. just a little curious on it you should also do a video on boot camp.
Do you know anybody that's a GM I swear I can't find a video on that title for my life. Love the videos brotha
Good video JT. I swore in as an AM yesterday and I ship off Aug 18. I may be reaching out If I have questions. I hope you're doing well!
