Awesome! 20 years an ABH, everything I learned and needed to know about life was because of this job. Like the flight ops but it was 14's, A6, EA6B, S3, H3, C2, and E2's gives away my age.
Great video. I miss it. Think about it all the time. I was a blue shirt on the Ike for the 2000 Med Cruise. Went TAD as a tractor driver and a UI on the Truman for her Maiden deployment in 2001. Qualified on the JFK (TAD again) in 2002 right there in the Jungle (FLY3).
AeroFoxx15 its both V-1 and V-3 consists of blue shirts starting out and then yellow shirts as they become more experienced or you go to crash and salvage as a red shirt
Was on this Ship 2006-2011 I Miss those days, the bad times and the good times. The job sucks but it will make you learn what hard work really is. ABH3 (AW/SW) Abella
@@theopenmindedtruthseeker9747 the job is very repetative but you are constantly moving. when there is no flight ops its just dead boring, leadership makes you do stupid tasks like clean the kneeknockers till you see your own reflection.

I was on that ship in 2015 never saw so many crunches of jets and planes especially when a chief and a master chief watched an ABH1 slam an E-2 against the outside of and island and he tried blaming it on the blue shirt tractor driver. Why be this rate? You are a parking attendant, at least at a squadron a plane captain that does your job on shore by the way and is usually an E-1 or E-2 has more quals. I don't get it.
HAHAHA....you just compared parking a bird on land with parking one on a ship?? HAHAHAA!!!!!!! Were you that blue shirt that got the blame and never made it to yellow?
+major payne you start off as blue shirt and work your way up to yellow, or you can branch out and go red (crash and salvage) aka flight deck fire fighters
Those fuckers still there? hahahaha Adrew Cox tell Dai Fuck you from ABH3 Abella, Tell Germer and Vitolo to get their asses back to work and scrub those padeyes! good times
But an ABF is fuelies or purple shirts, grapes. You guys have more opportunities in the civilian world than the directors do they can really only do one thing at airports.
deck Soap, white barrels, with all the Aircraft traffic, the Deck will get covered in jp-4, and hydraulic oil, and the deck soap is used to clean the slip hazard, a clean deck keeps mishaps from happening.
major payne ABE work long hours and get really greasy if that's your style go for it. both rates are long strenuous hours and work hard but I like what I do and wouldn't change it for anything.
I’ve decided to enlist as an ABH. Videos like yours helped me decide what I want to do in the Navy, thank you for the insight
I was an ABH...on board the USS kitty hawk CV63 and then the USS saratoga CV 60... great memories... a great job! i did it all! saw the world too!
my father used to work on the USS kittyhawk cv63.. man he tells me so many stories about his travels. I wanna join the navy so so so bad! >.
Did you have time to step off the ship when you went to see the world
teflon kj yes
Cosmas Obiozor I ended up picking qm
@@teflonkj7563 ayee how is it?thinking either ABH,AO or QuaterMaster
My son is an incoming ABH. He said it’s something he wants to do so I respect his choice.

I'm joining the Navy and not sure what rate I will end up with but thanks for showing me what its like to be an ABH.

You were a blue shirt? What is the actual rate for blue shirts? Something tells me it ABH but then when I look up ABH it shows me yellow shirts.
