From a retired Army Infantry Senior NCO, we have the greatest Navy because of young men and women who do what others are afraid of. You’ve made my life easier in each war I’ve been in but I know we never get the chance to tell you how proud we are to have you on our side. Things are going to get serious in 7-8 months so be ready.
As an artillery Marine, it's really cool to get an inside look on some niche MOS's we have in our military. Logistics wins wars, proven by Eisenhower in WW2. EVERY single person in the military is essential and vital.
As a retired USAF jet engine specialist, I'm surprised to learn here that intermediate level jet engine maintenance is performed aboard ship. Very cool! Thanks for showcasing these wonderful, dedicated and hard working enlisted folks making it all happen!
@@MattTee1975yes, and that’s why they don’t do it on land. I was answering the question of, if not at sea, then where. There’s still work that they can’t do at sea.

Far as amazing and high-performance as those aircraft are, I’m truly impressed that you guys can fix those tires so skillfully and what looks like simply. I’ve seen some of the factories for the large commercial airlines and they’re running gear and tires are extremely complicated. It seems like you guys have adapted a system that is rugged yet simplified. My eternal gratitude to the US military, you guys are what makes the world go round literally.
I’m from an military family and have a long family tree of military vets. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines. Civil war, WWII & 2, KOREA, NAM and peace time. Officers, enlisted. We have a big wall full of photos of most of em. We’re a proud family! My brother is retired Navy, I’m retired AF. Sadly, I never got involved with the Navy. But from what I see here today, I have no idea why Navy pilots are so esteemed over all other sailors. The enlisted sailors are more than just the backbone. They are the Navy. But the pilots are the stars of the show for some reason. I can understand why, but still it’s the enlisted personnel that make those starts flicker and shine. My deep felt thanks and gratitude to our enlisted sailors! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was a structural and hydraulics mechanic on F/A-18 Hornets. My squadron was attached to the USS Harry S Truman. I miss those days so much. There's nothing like being underway. Once the sea is in your blood, the love for it never goes away. You devote your life to it from the time you're 18, then suddenly here you sit a 44 year old man. Now all you have for the rest of your days are memories and stories that family just roll their eyes at. Life really does end at 40, it just takes a while to die.
I can so empathize! When I was a police officer I had some incredibly neat experiences...water patrol, air support (in helicopters), deploying to natural disasters, doing security and meeting famous people...all in the past. I know I'll never get to do that exciting stuff again. And my friends and family are tired of hearing about it. lol Hang in there.
I used to make those engine parts for GE Aviation, and seeing those techs going to town with a bunch of files is making my skin crawl. We were SOOO much more particular about using gentler methods when building the engines.
Excellent glimpse into the quiet--but important--stuff that keeps an incredibly complex system-of-systems like a nuclear aircraft carrier at the peak of its performance and safety regimen. Thank you!
as an X-coal miner I sympathise with those who work involves heavy things that have to be moved in cramped conditions, no one understands some workers' conditions and the environments they have to work in,
🎉🎉🎉🎉 SHALOM King Rims. Soooo u King's handle those Big Wheels that The Air Plane Pilot's hit cornerstone in the Glory Sky. Well. Well high you guys doing. U know I told Abba church about u guy's. Thank you for keeping everyone safe in the sky with that equipment. Happy Abba Feast.
I remember these days I worked the Tire shop on the Nimitz and the George Washington back in the late 90's good times. Seems these shipmates have it pretty easy now. Our presses were always out of action. Thankfully the oven and deep, deep freeze worked for doing besring races. We used rubber sledges to break tire beads.
Need a job? The US Military is basically a group of TRADE SCHOOLS which are GATEWAYS to many INDUSTRIES. Not only that but you learn to neatly fold clothes, make a bed and do many things you will appreciate knowing as you travel on your path through life. You only need to discipline yourself to get to bed early, be where you need to be 15 minutes early, and be ready to perform at your best. It's a job with adventure. Yet travel and experience as you mature. Visit a recruiter.
I noticed a couple of crewmen wearing shirts with the GE and Rolls Royce logos. Are there civilian technicians onboard working alongside Navy personnel?
background - I'm a US Navy Vietnam veteran, retired from a corporate aviation repair station with 20 year gig as an inspector. Also looks like he has too many turns on the wire.

They all come out from serving our country and into skilled positions and responsible citizens.

All those ppl don’t get enough credit. All day they do that shit. I would hate to be on a carrier if I wasn’t flying. It yes Hod bless those men and women cuz it’s for sure needed. But damn it a good navy life- idk. I shouldn’t say that. My hats off to all those ppl. Cuz I can’t stop thing about flying but in private pilot. I do want to be my own mechanic
I dont get it.... why dont they use ice blasters to clean out the engines on jets,, rather than sitting there with a file? the blaster will get it back to brand new and wont wreck the part,,, but the guy sitting there with a file? now the engine has to be "rebalanced" or is there something im not seeing
if a blade is minor damaged the nick needs to be smoothed and rounded with a file. a rounded surface helps prevent stress cracks. there are limits to how many nicks before balance trouble.
i remember being on the the USS Independence, and i was part of a "magic act" with my family.... and remember the deck was sooo hot,, you dare not touch it with you hand...and i couldn't believe it had these long escalators.... and the only thing we drank was a thing called a dr pepper... it was like a cola drink.... but the Ship and the below decks were just incredible.!
I used mine (as a Radar Tech MOS 6657) to get a job in the Computer repair field with Datapoint (1979) The Manager that hired me had a big handful of college boy resumes. He prefered a Marine who had a Secet clearance that had made it through Parris Island. Never looked back
Pretty disappointing video. As a qualified tyre fitter i was looking forward to seeing how fighter get wheels and tyres are maintained. Instead it was a very brief glossing over.
It is used because normal air has moisture and oxygen which promote oxidation of metals and rubber. Moisture in normal air also causes larger changes in pressure with changes in temperature. If you remove the oxygen and moisture from normal air you have a gas which is about 99% Nitrogen. So, it is not so much that they want nitrogen, nitrogen is just what is left when they remove what they do not want.

It is interesting how many maintenance operations are done without the use of any gloves.
Personal preference. I usually do wear Mechanix or latex gloves.
I noticed a couple of crewmen wearing shirts with the GE and Rolls Royce logos. Are there civilian technicians onboard working alongside Navy personnel?
yes
we had a Westinghouse rep to help us with the fire control radar on the F-4J
he was kind of worthless, though
lol
technical representatives from companys, called TECH REPS
Awesome Video !! Semper Fi to my Brothers aboard this carrier !!
Ladies don't get a shout out mate? Oh you're sucking on a lollipop. That answers my question.
with those tire skills, you are guaranteed a good job at Midas when you become a civilian.
Did the first cruise (with aircraft) on the USS Nimitz in the Summer of '76. a Med. VMFA-333.
That was 48 years ago. 😲
What an experience!

2:45 I wonder why military love these hand-crank speeder handle wrenches. Why not electric power tools?
To many parts in electric power tools. If they break, that is more FOD fodder to deal with.
A speed handle never runs out of batteries.
AT only work on electronics not power plants. Radar, communications, IFF systems and sonar.
I was hoping someone would point this out. AD's handle the power plants.
And MM's (like me) worked down in the engine rooms, operating the boilers and main engines and such. We never touched aircraft engines.

what happens when the drop tanks are dropped do they recover them later on?or does it just depend where they drop them.

They don't use "torches". They use flashlights. When you see Old Glory proudly flying on a ship, I guarantee you the ship isn't from the UK.

Aviation maintenance is a well paying profession.

Nitrogen is a inert gas and does not expand at all. Tires are not repaired they are replaced. F-18's have two engines not one.
Nitpick, much? You probably sat in the theater and said: "They didn't have the need for speed, they had the need for acceleration."
@@texaswunderkind What's your problem with the truth?
@@CaptainSwoopsettle down Jack Nicholson.
Nitrogen expands and contracts with temperature changes.
Those jobs are extremely dangerous. No second chances.

Nitrogen keeps tires cooler than air and it expands slower? WHAT? Who is writing such crap info?
It's true. Look it up. About 20% cooler.

A reading video. Miss half the video because of all the reading.
So, according to you, Navy ships did not have any fresh water prior to the 1960s? Please explain.
Fresh water had to be transported to the carrier. The carrier did not process sea water into fresh water internally.
Use your brain. It means they had to store all their freshwater in tanks, and if it ran out, they're SOL.
@@texaswunderkind Yeah, that would not be correct. Desalination on ships started back in the 1800's
Nitrogen is inert.
The video is interesting.
But the 'commentary' is lame.
