    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.

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

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.

    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.
