Joining the Navy at 30 | A School | NAS Pensacola | Summer 2021 

So glad I found this channel. I’m almost 34 and I’m enlisting in the Navy soon!!

funny that I found this channel...my 22 year old son is heading to basic in a week, will attend A school in Pensacola to be a Structural Aircraft Mechanic too...he's excited about this chapter in his life...as his Dad, it's a little tough to think I won't be able to see him for a while, but once he's in Pensacola, I'm sure things will level out for him....and me and his mom. Thanks for the great video, all the best to you with your journey too.

Went to AOA school but in Naatc millington Tennessee fall of 1984 old timer here , Pensacola looks like a great base , Seen the the blues practice once there good luck !

I'm barely turning 27 and I thought I was late, when making the decision, glad I came across this super Moto-type vid

I was in Pensacola in the summer of 1990 for Aircrew school. A lot has changed in 30 years and a lot more modern today. A school was in Millington, TN after Aircrew and it sucked going from Pensacola to Tennessee. You guys today are so lucky having everything in Pensacola. It's a nice base. Our mess hall in 1990 was small but it was one of the best in the fleet because the officers also ate there too. It's an old base. Built in 1913 so in 100 years it went through a lot of changes. It's better now.

The memories

My dad worked at the BOQ, back in the 80's I can remember walking the hallways and the smell..😢

Lame comment to follow. I did A school for ADJ (ADJ for jets, ADR for recips) at NAS Millington. We had an A-5 Vigilante in front of the chow hall and the boot joke was to get a guy to stand Plane Guard. Don't know if anyone ever did.....

I did boot camp then on to aircrewman candidate school in Pensacola and then A School in Millington, TN. Then to Jacksonville, FL for 36 weeks of training in VP-30. I was an AO and at the time the only 4 duty stations there were for aircrew AO's (on P-3C Orion's) was Hawaii, California, Florida or Maine. I was the class honorman so I picked Maine & met up with my friends who were a class ahead of me the entire time right from boot camp. Great memories and nice video you put together, cheers!

Dope video! Currently AM2, and I remember graduating A school almost exactly 3 years ago. Seeing your vlog really takes me back :) Your positivity is really inspiring - I often see people in the Navy, myself included feel unhappy with various things and let that stuff get to them (like getting Norfolk for orders 🙃). It really seems that the excitement about your future in the Navy is genuine rather than blind. I look forward to seeing what comes next for you after A school.

Hi there. I just got to Pensacola, a few days ago. I feel lost. Can you share a little bit what you know about the watch qualification. How to prepare efficiently for that? Thanks again. I just discovered your channel, great content.

AC “A” school. Millington, TN. Summer/Fall 1993. We didn’t have private bathrooms 😆 We had one community bathroom on each floor of the barracks. Kinda like a miniature boot camp set up.

I would’ve loved to be an AM or AO. But instead I was a boatswains mate in San Diego

When did Millington fade away?

I really miss Pensacola. I took it for granted for life onboard a ship

18 and ship out in a week then heading to Florida wish me luck for the youngster

My ship date is Oct 4th. Im goin in as a PR so ill end up at Pensacola which I'm really hyped for

Edgar the navy at 39

It’s 2 years later and I’m 40 trying to enlist how has your time been

Im joining at 36 year

Bro I went to school for music too, and going in for aviation lol heading to BMT on dec 1

Man, "ABH" here, thanks for uploading, took me BACK, and "The food, OH THE FOOD!"

Question, are you allowed to go off base on your off days/when you’re not in class?

Can you discuss the ASVAB and how you prepared for it please! Love your videos!!

Almost 30 and trying to join. MEPS is coming up for me. Wish me luck, men

I’m a 34 year old bartender!!! I’m so hype for you!!

What happened to IT? I’m coming in as IT soon 😬

Can you leave the a school area, like let's say you had relatives in a town over ?

Hey man - you mentioned in an earlier video that you went to college before you enlisted. Why didn't you go OCS? I have a degree but my gut is telling me that enlistment is for me right now.

I got AM but I’m good at breaking things 😀so I passed this rate. Anyway good video.

Whack ass music in the beginning bro

Cool I’m going to boot camp as AM. 4 days left Any suggestions?

You went to college for music? So did I! Ended up joining the Navy!!!

Pensacola FL is literally the best in the fleet 😂. LITERALLY

I was there in 1990 (AOCS), and I loved almost every minute of it. Mess was good then, but it looks even better now. The BEQ looks about the same, though. One piece of advice for those considering the Navy or headed to A School: exercise restraint and caution if you go into town. It's real hard to foul up on base, but it's real, real easy to get entangled in a civilian mess off. An on-base foul up is handled internally, but if you get civvy police/courts involved, then you've got a hornet's nest and a career potentially derailed. All in all, I still consider the Navy a great choice in life--hooyah!

Son getting ready to go there for avionics. Wondering about family visits?

the Airman uniforms they use in 2020 fro the Navy???? Even camos were blue. Can't see the caps old whites and blues anywhere

Hello I’m switching from hospital corpsman to hopefully aviation machinists mate, is there any advice that you could give to me?

great info! My son will attend A School for ABH in NAS Pensacola after bootcamp graduation on 10/5

POG

I was there in 97, place hasn't changed a bit. Great video!

Leaving in 18 days for rtc then to Pensacola after. Glad I found this video

Just swore in, and picked AM, and I am so excited. I ship off to bootcamp in a month and a half

7:52 how that works

I was an AMH3 88-92. I think they may have combined the rates.

Really 30?????

Hi Hero can I join the Navy with a small tattoo on my rist. I have anchor on my rist can the Navy still accept me with the tattoo ?

I went to A-School at NAS Meridian. It was hot like P’cola and right square in the middle of nowhere.

Where’s the laundry room? I can’t find it.

Omg chair force! I haven’t seen NAS in years…I just moved back and I definitely forgot about this crazy heat

Hey! I have a concerning question so I watched another RU-vidr video about A school and he stated that Aviation a school can not leave base at all not even on the weekends…. Can you confirm???
