  • Опубликовано: 15 авг 2018
  • As an Aviation Machinist’s Mate (AD), you are in charge of the biggest engines in the world. Test, repair and overhaul everything from helicopter rotors to turbojet engines on the F-35C Lightning II. From day one you’ll be turning wrenches and watching F-18 afterburners light up in jet test cells. After a few years as an AD, you can even get your license to work as an aircraft mechanic in the civilian world. This is one of the most hands-on aviation jobs out there.

    My dad was an aviation machinist mate in WW2. He was mechanical and electrical most of his life. He was with telephone company 37 and half years. He would be 97 in August. He lived to be 68. I'm 73.

      The overall is not so much important, but you need a Line score of ( VE+AR+MK+AS = 210) OR (VE+AR+MK+MC=210) I am studying for this rate aswell. Good luck to you sir, i myself am not naturally gifted with mathematics, so it's a bit of a struggle right now for me.

      terriblelottery same here man that’s why I’m worried, I’m pretty strong in everything else except math, I can listen to an engine or anything mechanical and point out what’s wrong with it. I’m going to study really hard because it’s been a while since I’ve been in school, also thank you and good luck to you as well.

      ScreamingAirborne yeah man I’ve been out of school for a while too working in manufacturing. But I know now it’s time for a change. I think this is a really good job and they say you can get your A&P while IN the navy which is really cool. Keep studying man and don’t give up because I know how it is sometimes I feel like giving up because my math skills are so bad.., but the more time you put in the easier it gets. You got this💪
