Please do I want to become one but don't know all the specs.

JTsuits ily poppa :'c
Alejandro Ruiz lmao 😂
Fuck u big dog
love love love the motovlogs, especially this one! keep it up fam 💯💯💯
Another great video, I appreciate the time you spend grinding these out! Keep um coming.
6:00 I feel like that guy in the car thinks your yelling at him because of your hands gestures lol 😂
these rating videos are excellent. you do such an great job on these videos....so interesting , funny, down to earth and humble....thats what I'm talking about. You aren't tough shit, arrogant etc....you are just you, but what I have observed when it comes down to it, you walk the walk...you help us out, inform us, make us laugh, smile..keep up the great videos -
ur always so awesome
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.
Thanks for all your help JT! I just dep in today and guess what, I’m apart of the AM community now! It’s crazy because I’ve been watching your videos for a few months for guidance and ended up getting the same Rate as you!
ayeee fellow Framer !
I just enlisted as an AM yesterday! Thanks for all of the good info on the navy. It's definitely helped!
How is it?
Thank you for the video and sharing your experience. I’m an A pact that just picked up AM.
Great video my guy. I scored a 78 on the asvab too and I signed for AM. I’m leaving for bootcamp on August 14 less than two weeks!
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?
Signed as AM yesterday and I ship at the end of the year ! Thanks for the info and hopefully I can grind my work as hard as you 💪
u got this !
How has it been?
Willie balls! haha I love your videos! I enjoy hearing about the stuff you did in the 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.
keep up the good work bro !
Another good vid! Like your bike to! Just 4 more days till I head back to MEPS and see what I qualified for and sign my contract....getting really excited lately lol. Look forward to more vids!!!
I'm shipping out on Monday, just want to say thank you for all that you have done!

--- and yeah bro Aviation Mechanic is dope ,, try and go to a helo squadron if you can :D !
@@jtmnavy Haha I need to remember that I appreciate that information. Any reason in particular I'd want to be in a helo squad? and which one I should try to be in?
I just swore in as an AM this past Thursday and I leave for basic August 5th. Hooyah Navy ⚓️
I’m going in as AV and I go to bootcamp on August 3rd we might be in the same Bootcamp
watup fam Willy balls, but yeah I leave for boot camp in 43 days and I've been in dep for 8 months now, but I first contacted my recruiter in February of 2016, the wait is real
Awesome video.
Story time, love it.
Love you JT! Heading out 28 Feb for the air force Cyber Transport systems
-Uncle J

Currently in Pensacola FL at NATTC for AM! Foxtrot barracks GW! Can't wait to class up and start school!
John Doe lol now I’m currently in Pensacola FL at NATTC. How’s the fleet? I’m going to be going to C school soon.
Got my rate as an AD. You were a huge inspiration for my choice in joining the navy. Thanks fam
yo hell yeah wat up fellow Aviation fam !
Wazaaaaaaaaaap. Would you go more in depth on how one gets their qualifications (quals) and that stuff exactly in aviation? Just an idea. Thanks bro!
def !
Much appreciated homie!
Nice Video!
I'm an AM. Heading to bootcamp this Monday. thanks for all the videos fam! lmao Willy balls!
good luck fellow AM brethren !
JTsuits Do you have any travel video blogs from your time on deployment? That would be cool to see
BEST OUTRO EVER ❤️😂😂
I leave 23092020 and I’m only freaking out a little bit.. what do you do now that you’re out and have the rest of your life ahead of you?! Thank you for sharing! You make it seem possible while adding a little comic relief. Thank you!
How has it been?
Willie's balls! continue the vids man you're the best
"Wait, what?!" Willie ____________, so funny!!!
Wow I can learn a lot from you. I had to subscribe hahaha. And you made it soo simple for me. I want to be a aircraft mechanic just like you and join the squadron, I'm just scared that I won't remember all the helicopter parts, or Airplane parts. I want to learn a lot, and I'm really great in physics and electrical like Ohms and stuff like that. It would be great to help me out a little. I'm in 10th grade by the way, but I've been taking the ASVAB practice test almost everyday. And one more thing "Willy Balls" lmfao!!! 😂😂😂. But thanks man I'll be sure to watch more videos.
AM is my dream job idk y but working on aircraft seems freaking amazing
Been in the DEP for the marines for a few months now, just secured a contract as an aircraft mechanic, waiting to ship out now in October!
right on the money.
going through that right now.
barracks support chill......... and took 2 1/2 weeks to class up
Good explanation shipmate
the ending had me lol, Willie Huevos lol
Ayyyyyyye Pouya in the introoooo
Post notification crew 💪🏼
!!!
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
WillieBalls lmao you're a riot thnx for the laughs
Lol Shakewellllllllll intro.
Keep it up, come out to Miami some time
Just started the video, excited, I leave in march and AM is my rate, Pensacola in June and July :)
YEEE buddy wat up fellow Aviation brother !
JTsuits waddup fam! Curious as to how you got 5 months in Pensacola? My orders say 9 weeks
ur total class time will be around 9-10 weeks which is 2-3 months ,,,
then factor in being in barracks support and waiting to class up 1-2 months before that ,,, ;)
u might class up faster ,, that was just my situation ;)
JTsuits nice, spending my summer in Pensacola right after RTC doesn't sound bad at all ;))
You should make a video about Pensacola and like what downtime and stuff like that is like there
I like how you don't mind looking crazy with the hand gestures while talking on a red light LOL.
Edit: Willie Nelson's cojones.
lol trust me i was gettin' some looks >.
Willie balllllssssss! 😂
willy balls, you are an huge expiration on me make me wanna go out and push myself into the workouts everyday do anyother story on what you do in "C" school
i love you fam 😄😀
keep kicking ass !!
JTsuits yes you got that right 😀
I just graduated not to long ago and im going in as an Aviation Mechanic that's the job I'm going for
I joined as AM & although it wasn’t my initial choice, I’m glad I have this rate now. Seems like I’ll have a lot of fun!
Ship Date 20190909
Baxter Jackson Why do you have to wait so long to ship?
MRMITYSUPRBEANBOY it was the only contract for AM that opened up for me, kinda like it. I get the whole summer to relax and work on getting straight for Boot
Baxter Jackson If that works for you then great! Work on the run more than anything else.
Being as Im personal trainer (certified) it has helped a lot with the being in shape part. I got my 2 mile down to 13 minutes so I think I’ll be fine
You in Pensacola rn?
suscribed! like your videos especially the motovlogs. i have a question, how do i prepare for AM??
Helo me up baby!
Tell us tales,
Of structures,
On the high seas,
Of cabbages and kings,
And helicopter things!
Willie balls! Haha love you JT! You da 💣.com
bro now AM school is like 2 months, and they fast paced it very fast which makes it harder LMAO
willieballs. I've been listening to Willie Nelson all day no joke!
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.
dooood i was shitting my pants in front of the bird when i did my first solo LSE ,,, especially at night with the wands lol i was so nervous
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
Originally joined as AM, got rerated from AM to CTI 1 month and a half after I depped in. I want to travel to as many places as I can, but now many people have told me CTI usually don't really leave US or something like that... #Bummer
Willie Balls lol lovely singing voice mate
partied my ass off in Atsugi. good base. also, I rode the shit out of those same roads! you must be in my backyard! next time, do the video over Grimes Canyon!
atsugi barracks ,,, ahh the memories
Pretty sure they are gone, but we had beer machines in the barracks in the 90's
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 ✌🏻
papas raw !
Hey arnt you JTsuits gaming channel??
rainy season gotta deal with it, cats and dogs that is. how nice of her to open the door for at the end of your ride out.
Love ur vids bro 👌🏻, currently leaving for boot in march , my rate is abf
u a grape !!
JTsuits lol it's what I've been hearing , do am's work with abf's sometimes?
Dude I am literally in the exact same boat as you. Same Rate and everything. Although I'm only gonna be in the DEP pool for a month and a half.
just going back and watching this after becoming a rated AM is crazy…
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!
Stay Motivated Sailor
I really appreciate ur videos their getting me really excited for my navy career im also gonna be an am is there any advice u can give me
12:55 - That's Bangor Base, where I processed out of too!!
yup yup good ole Bangor WA
It was pretty chill. I went to Seattle over the weekend to go to Pike Place Market and the OG Starbucks!!
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.
#askjt good question brother ,, could be an interesting talking point
as a 24 year old thinking about going NAvy for AM, how/when did you get your bachelor's? while active still orrr?
When you were parked at the red light and talking to the viewers waving your hands, it must have looked funny to all the other drivers - just you talking to yourself
I'm doing ato schooling now and am about two weeks till graduation and then I go to sand diego I hope to make petty officer here in about two years but thank u for ur service
I just realize JT does this, i got signed for this rate as well.
#Willie'sBalls Lmao, that outro had me dying!! Keep up JTSuits!! Been watching since 4K followers!! Stay you!! On the road to 100K!!
thnx gwen means a lot !
Just came out of boot camp yesterday am headed to cola tomorrow
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.
best leadership and easiest ,, try to become a section leader
I just did the asvab and got an 80. I’m 25 and have hella college credits no degree so I gotta pick a rate soon signing up to go to meps today
Leave to bootcamp In May, (marines) chose mos 6000. Aviation Mechanics for the win 👌🏽
Pypeup how did it go?
Took my asvab yesterday, MEPS next thursday..... let's gooooooooooooo
IconicYT good luck man !!!
lets get it !
IconicYT good luck!!
JTsuits you listen to pouya ?
Willie balls! you already know your most OG loyal subscriber is always watching the videos in full.
yee stew always an OG
Hey @jtsuits love this video this is exactly what I'm looking for! I am an AM in the DEP. is there anyway besides being lucky to go from A school to C school?? Thanks man for the videos
Nice vid! When I visited PNAS it was just an incredibly depressing place, your take?
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.
