I just swore into the Navy as an AM two weeks ago. I leave in March for basic ✌️ wish me luck bois
Its Hearn leave in March next year. How is it?
@@johnnydoe9969 going to be lots of hard work. Great rate though
I leave dec 8
how do you like your job?
God bless you 💕🇺🇸
I was an AMH 2 from 1966 -1970. Worked on the H 34 in Pensacola, then finished the last 2 years on the Forrestal in RVAH-13 squadron working night shift on the RA5C Vigilante. Was a flight shift troubleshooter during flight ops. Tough but enjoyable job.
Thank you for your service. I leave for bootcamp June 18th and go to AM A school. Just wondering if there are any good jobs in the civilian life that are related to an AM?
@@joeyjudge5582 When I was in they broke down AM into AMS AMH and AME. For structural, hydraulic, and electrical and support. S and H usually worked together. I retired 8 years ago after working for 26 years as a hydraulic specialist. So yes, there are many opportunities in all of those ratings. Good luck, I thoroughly enjoyed my 4 years in the Navy.
Thanks for your vids Austen, wow it’s that hard to find positive things about his job.
I’m a proud Navy AM3 mom💕 my daughter and I pray daily for her pilots! May they return safely to their families 💕🇺🇸
Just got my rate as an AM. Shipping out late March and I can’t wait!
How has it been?
@@Magoo7956 it’s been great. I’m now an E4 and I’ve definitely learned a lot. Reaping and sowing as much opportunities as possible. The isn’t so bad, just some small thing that can irk you here and there but if you tuck your head low hit the ground running and just focus on what you have to do, it’s not bad. I actually enjoy what I’m doing right now.
@@Ryanxdee do you have any tips on how to rank faster? I’m going as an AME
Dope video bro . Very informative on the rate . But I’ve bin browsing through TH-cam & found little to no videos on “AS” - if you could put out 1 , that would be amazing . 🤞🏾
I hope you guys enjoy the video!! Could you be an AM??
Cool video. 👍 My brother was a Navy Corpsman and I was Air Force.
I just signed with the Navy and Aviation Structural Mechanic is what I picked for my Job
Shipping to boot camp on June.
Wish me luck.
Enjoyed the video! Thank you for the information!💕🇺🇸
I was an AM for 11 years.
I was just watching this before I shipped for BC. Now I'm stationed here in NAS Point mugu! Such a great place. 💯
How’s the rate and the likeliness of getting your wish list
How’s life

I was an AM, I was stationed in San Diego on the U.S.S. Boxer, AIMD Department 2000-2004. It’s a great rate, I had a lot of fun!
Good ole AIMD! Thanks for your service
Scott how much were you making after your military service?
How civilian transfer? And how’d you get so lucky to get stationed in San Diego that long?
AIMD IS A RATING. Not a rate.

Lamiee Llopis goodluck I just graduated from bootcamp as an AM a month ago, AM is great

@@kevinbai7583 how is it!? I go am jan 12
Going into basic training for AME JUNE 30th!
I too just swore in as AM and I leave Dec15. So less then 5 weeks excited to start my journey
Just swore in as AM. My date is January 20.
@@fullsend01 I was supposed to originally go in as an IC but my petty officers commander called me from Boise MEPS and asked if I wanted to do AM and they gave me it and switched my date from Jan21 to Dec 15 in which I’ve been waiting on which seems like forever man
Just got this rate. Shipping out in March.
AMs work on the whole aircraft except the electronics, electrical systems, engines. Basically the rest of the A/C.
AM1 (FTS/TAR) Retired Airframers, best rate in the NAVY!
Mikie Peters aye I just swore in as AM (FTS)!
How’s the civilian transfer? Any better aviation rates that transfer to civilian life better
I like this . Make more rate videos please . Really curious about engineering rates
i will do my best!
rate is rank. rating is area of work. AM i.e Aviation Machinist is a rating, AT is a rating. @@AustenAlexander
Being in A School right now really gives me a better understating of wtf he’s talking about 😂. If not I’d be lost
How is A school for this rate? Is it really challenging, do you get most things done in class or do you have a ton of work to do after class?
6 yrs as an AMH/S,CDI on P3's. NATTC , Millington Tn. 1976. Good vid, but I can't remember a Jet eng at $400mil.
Thanks for your service guys.
You should do one of these interviews for Seabee engineering aid
My brother struck out for AMH. He retired as AM1 back in 2012.

Austin Lubs Hooyah Airframer
How was it
jermaine boykins how is it
Thank you for this educating video. I'm planning to joining the Navy through DSSC. I'm presently studying Marine Environment and Pollution Control in a Maritime University.
First of, I hope my course of study wouldn't hinder me?
Second, i heard something about being in the squadron Navy and being attached to the ship. Does my course of study dictate where I'd be? Can I be attached to a ship even as an environmental scientist or where do I get to work?
How's the rising in rank goon be for me?
Please, I'd appreciate very honest response from you or any other person who sees this.
Swore in as an AM as well
can you interview more people from other ratings? love your vids!
yes i plan to do a lot more of these. and thanks!
could you do an interview with a parachute rigger
I have one friend that is a PR and that is very possible actually... I'll look into it!
IM PUMPED!!!!! JUST SWORE IN AS A AM!!!!! WOOOOOOOO Ship out January 28th!!!
+Guitarists' Tragedy yessssssssssss!
How is it
Hardest working rate in Naval Aviation! Retired in 2011 as an AM1(AW), F/A-18's all the way!!!
Where can one work with this post retirement?
US Navy rate is an enlisted rank E1 through E9. The sailor's area of work is a rating..
Could you include his IG? You said you did in the comments maybe I missed it
my bad! it's @franman012
My ship date is Sept. 1st with an AM rate.
What did you get on your ASVAB, and also do you happen to know if there was a lot 9f space open for this job. I'm really considering joining and would like to know
Good rate! I was an AMH on F-14s, kinda funny calling them just AMs. Good luck!
Gabriel Hernandez doesn’t really matter too much what you get on the asvab but the line scores
Wow I was expecting JT to be in the comments
he usually is
Signed AME, kinda hoping to switch to AM before I ship
Wonder_9 AME is not bad, just a little less physical and more specialized. This is coming from an AM
Peter M can I be a helicopter crewman as an AME? Also thank you for the advice!
Wonder_9 I wouldn’t see why not, but it’s up to the needs of the navy on what kind of aircraft you work on
Wonder_9 and to be a crewman you would have to do extra training which not everyone can pass
How hard is it to get an A&P license on active duty?
Hmmm I'm sorry I have no clue. The military doesn't really hold you back from doing outside things, just may take a little bit of time
My brother was assigned to the New Jersey in 68, he died when I was 4 and I have some of his Navy ribbons, rings, photos, etc. I have been trying to figure out his rank, the rank they show in his ship photo with his service ribbons is CYCSN, nobody seems to know what it stands for. I would love to know what it means if you know. Thank you.
hmmm CYCSN I've never heard of that either...i will try to find out more
I was a Marine back then, but the sn may stand for sonar. Some mos from back in the day no longer exist. Mine has been gone for many years.
Thank you guys I truly appreciate anything you can dig up, I've been trying for years on this!
You can probably get a copy of his DD 214 form from the Veteran’s Administration. Just go to the local VA office and tell them what you want. Also, the guys at your local VFW can help. They know how to get things done. Your brothers DD 214 will list what schools he went to and all the info for the time he was in. I think you can send a request to the VA for information. It may take a while, but I think that will work. Good luck, hope this will help.
God bless him
Shippin' May 2nd for this rate
Best of luck!
What’s the asvab score needed for this? This is the one I WANTTR
How was it
Kain Day I know of people that got it with like a 55, gotta do good on mechanical comprehension
@@acejason14 how you like it so far?
robert mike and i
caitlin doug ed deb did die
snow kennedys guy
Is there a difference between AM’s and AME’s? I ship out in September!
Big difference when I was in. Basically two separate rates. Most of the time the AMEs worked with the PRs Parachute Riggers. AMEs worked on the life support systems mainly.
Mikie Peters thank you!
hell yea. you want a lot of time to go to the gym and the bar, go AME. you want to sit around and wait for the AE and ATs to finish there damn job, go AM
Does it transfer well into the civilian sector?
yes very well. In upwards of $100,000 +
Yes the aviation world in general need mechanics and pilots really bad
Austen Alexander what specific jobs and how can I maximize my success in civilian life after? Any certifications or anything I could be doing for civilian transfer?
hey if you know any Gse can you interview them so I can know what I'm getting my self into Lol
I’ll try to find one! Haha
@@AustenAlexander Thanks Appreciate it I'm going to be leaving for basic the 27th of this month 😬Lol
I just swore in as an AM. Ship out date is Feb 18th!! I'm not sure if my question makes any sense, but would anyone happen to know?
I just wanted to ask if there is any way of guaranteeing that I can be placed on the ship rather than land based for work? Like are there specified squadrons that are always either land or sea? Or is it by chance?
It's about where they need AMs. When I went to school out of 28 sailors, I and one other guys got ship orders, the rest went to squadrons. You'll learn about organizational and intermediate level. If you want to work on the aircraft, keep your fingers crossed for O-level. If you want to work on components on/in the aircraft, pray for I-level. Personally I'd love to leave the ship and go to an FRC like the one they mentioned, Point Mugu. You'll learn a lot and have a lot of free time, when you're ship's company, I-level for the boat, you will be working on the ship, fixing/making random shit for the boat. Honestly. That and PMs (maintenance).
Another interesting thing they mentioned was hazmat, the simplicity between FRCs and boats is mind blowing. To get Pro Lube (WD-40, general purpose oil, etc.) It could potentially take me an hour to get, whereas FRCs, you just go across the hall. Don't even ask about the lines to eat.
When I leave the boat, I will be a decent sailor, and an AM with little experience, where if I was at an FRC, I would get to have that experience in what I went to school for/have the NEC for. Hydraulics is mine, but now I'm going to supply for the next year... so now my school means nothing. If you're in your sea rotation while at an FRC, you can deploy to a ship without doing all the ship stuff too! Not to say I hate the ship, but keep in mind when you're up for orders, best of luck!
I don't really think the engine will cost $400.000.000 dollars...no way jose...
Do you have any of his socials?
@franman012 instagram!
Austen Alexander thanks man!
Am or abf help pls thank you
How often are AMs on the flight deck?? And I leave August 28th to become an AM :)
Kassidy Riley a good amount of time check out @jtsuits also for more if Austin doesn’t have more info
How is it
Brett Appleby it’s not bad, lots of panels to take off and out on. I work on jets unlike JTsuits. But I like it so far
Kassidy Riley hows the civilian transfer, I heard it’s not that good because of the type of aircraft you work on while in. And what’s the deployments like? I’m hoping to get stationed in San Diego but at this point I’m more worried abt how well it transfers to civilian life
Brett Appleby haven’t been on deployment yet, and civilian transfer is pretty good (from what I hear) you can continue to work on the same platform for different companies and make a lot more
whats up guyd??? i'm currently in the philipines tempoarily my brother n law he wants to join the american navy im trying ti encourage him to become a avation mechanic they have a requiting office here my brother n law dont have a green card hes a phlipine national the navy has a requiting office here like i said there have to be a way the navy get him to the us for boot camp what do you think???
You should rename this video to get more traffic: EXPLOSIVE Interview with Aviation Structural Mechanic | TREMENDOUS Interview with an AM2
Hmmmm I think I will rename and play with the tags
How much money can you make after the military?
when I got out in 2008 guys where getting hired on at nadep. making pretty good money. if you get an A&P license you can make over 6 figures.
LEFTLANE BULLDOGS I heard it’s hard because military aviation mechanic is more military style aircraft. Is this true? I want to be an AM and transfer into civilian life fairly easy.
LEFTLANE BULLDOGS how is the sea duty aswell? I am hoping to get stationed in San Diego but my main goal is the easiest civilian transfer job
@@brettappleby9311 if you want some real good sea duty, go P8s
LEFTLANE BULLDOGS I’m hoping to not get sea duty🤣 I’d like to be in San Diego but like I said I’m a little more worried abt how well the MOS transfers to civilian life
Do AMEs ever go on a ship?
You’re probably already at ya command but yes they do
Is this guy filipino?
yes he is lol
cool
Ivz P Filipino mafia is strong. 🤘🏼
I’m Filipino and I’m shipping for the US navy on May 7th as AME :) (tired of working in medical field, Im a nurse I wanna try aviation).
@@jonalynpingul2036 just try air force
You have a great looking body
Don’t become an airframer.
Half of my squadron says that and half of it says it's good. I'm confused
Why not?
