Choosing MK over BM in the Coast Guard

I interview my friend Jeremy (d00ditsjeremy) who is a Machinery Technician (MK) 2nd class in the Coast Guard. Jeremy talks about what made him choose MK over BM, what to expect if you want to be an MK for 4 vs 20 years, and how you can go from not knowing anything to knowing how to build an engine from the bottom up.
