I love mechanics . As a young lady ( I’m 27 now ) I loved watching people work on my family cars and my step dad let’s me help him on his cars . I’m not a professional but I just have a soft spot for this area 🤩😍😆
@@NFLYoungBoy223 wow! that's pretty awesome. Im not able to due to medical condition but I just love to support people 😀 my late uncle was a Marine. I miss him lots.
It’s really just scoring high enough on the asvab (doesn’t take a high score) and seeing if you qualify to work in the Motor T(Transport) field. Though the marine corps choose which exact job you’ll do in that field. So you could be a driver or something else relating to vehicles but then again you may be a mechanic. It’s all luck after you solidify your position in a specific field. Hopefully this makes sense.
@@imperia2276 Yea @alex davis is right, im currently enlisted and shipping out in January and my original mos was air crew so I could work with aviation, however depending on what month you ship out determines what jobs are available so for me they dont need any one in air crew for that month so my options were slimmed down to a few jobs and I decided on motor transport and repair which is pretty much a diesel mechanic. Keep in mind i scored a 61 on my ASVAB so I qualified for every job except one.
@@packzmenace3025 I’m just out of school and want to join the marines to become a diesel mechanic how to I pivot towards that? If I score high enough on the asvab test then do I get to choose a career or do I have to pay for tuition??
@@nobody-rw1fr enlisted in DEP here, (Delayed Entry Program), leaving August 8th, your first step would be to get connected with a recruiter and get them all of your basic background info and take all of your tests (ASVAB, PICAT, etc.), then you would go to MEPS to get your physical and further testing done to verify your scores on your testing. After that, you would swear in and pick your MOS. Pertaining the Diesel Mechanic field, you have a range of different options, such as CX (Vehicle+Turbine Engine maintenance, Motor T., etc.) As far as tuitionwise, you would serve your contract in the Marine Corps., and have the option of leaving with something called the Montgomery G.I. Bill, which essentially gives you a set amount of tuition that the Marine Corps. will pay for additional schooling after leave, if you choose.
My son is almost 17 and really wants to be a mechanic. He’s been talking about joining the marines. Why should he choose to be a mechanic in the marines versed a trade school? I’m looking for honest advice.
Ohhhh definitely you can be but it’s not just limited to combat zones because every one needs motor t even the non combat jobs and air wing bases need motor t so it just depends on what unit end up being
because in the real world you don't have the time to turn fasteners off one turn at a time with a wrench...All jobs have stringent time limits, and if you don't meet or exceed those limits... you don't get paid. This is the way of flat rate. Civilians have to learn new technology all the time, while the army works on the same ol shit day in and day out. I've been a heavy duty diesel mechanic for the last 10 years, when there is a problem with a piece of equipment I don't have the luxury of 5 other guys helping me with the job. I'm mobile road service btw. If i have to pull and engine and transmission out in the middle of the woods on a logger or excavator or bulldozer, I'm doing it by myself, rain, snow or shine. The military swaddles these guys which doesn't prepare then for the real world.
You know what is interesting? When american soldiers punch their tire in the middle of the afghanistan, they call support and wait for special unit to change the tire. When czech soldiers punch the tire, they have to change tire or do simple car repairs themselves. On the other hand most of my colleagues (we had mandatory military service 10 years ago) told me that if they have to repare military vehicles, it was way too more harsh to repair old clunky cars in military service than in real life. But at the end of the day those old Tatra's have to tow shiny Hummers during joint NATO forces training, because "Humwees" can't go through rough terrain.
@@unknown1129 sounds like to me you got a shit company to work with. no respectful company would treat its workers like that. it's illegal to withhold pay especially if you're given garbage to work with in the first place
@@unknown1129 swaddled? these guys go to boot camp and MCT, which is hell on earth! then MOS school, which is academically challenging! their life is the opposite of swaddled! they work on vehicles in war zones, what the heck more do you want from them?!
My best guess would be conductivity, if you skim a live wire you could potentially hurt yourself. But the risk is extremely small your superior's are just assholes.
That must be the world's longest bolt considering how many people just continually turn it.
The camera men want you to so

You can still join the Marine Corps at 27 we had a 28 year old in my MOS school and they called him the grand old man of the marine corps
@@NFLYoungBoy223 wow! that's pretty awesome. Im not able to due to medical condition but I just love to support people 😀 my late uncle was a Marine. I miss him lots.
legend has it he’s still tightening that bolt
This is a job I would want in the Marines
No you wouldn’t
@@miguelozuna4747 whys that?
@@miguelozuna4747 why
My Dad was a mechanic in the Marine Corps! He worked on generators.
Thx from Hamilton Ontario Canada
I’m currently a mechanic at a dealership & I want to join the marines and have a job as a mechanic. What steps did he take to get that job?

@@kameron_ulibarri3521 I’m also in DEP but I leave july 5 where are you doing basic at ?
That bolt might be a little loose , try tightening it
Sign me up! I’m traveling to San Diego this week to test and take my physical

Thank you. I appreciate your advice.
i’m no marine but my best guess is experience and the title would really help him find a job
What others said plus there are so many lifelong benefits you'll get as a serviceman/woman.
BARSTOW! I ain't going back to Barstow
Is the handsome mechanic in the back does he have the same job ?
E1 here currently on MCT wanting to go my school house(I’ll be a mechanic)
You want know until you get picked up at the school house bud you could still be a operator
How is it so far? I plan to join the corps as a mechanic and I'm curious on the steps u took to get there?
@@OFFICIALKOREAN no way I’d be an operator the contract I signed was CX
Why did I get blasted for wearing my watch while working on my truck :/
You aren't supposed to wear anything that can get caught or stuck on moving parts while working on trucks.
Dose the military still run cats!?? I love cats
is this considered infantry?
Nooooo
@@joejones8454 i have no idea why I left this comment. I probably meant can you be located in a combat zone with this MOS
Ohhhh definitely you can be but it’s not just limited to combat zones because every one needs motor t even the non combat jobs and air wing bases need motor t so it just depends on what unit end up being
No. Infantry is completing missions on the combat zone i.e Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, etc.
yut
From what im seeing and what im hearing these guy could not cut it in the private sector
