From a retired Army Infantry Senior NCO, we have the greatest Navy because of young men and women who do what others are afraid of. You’ve made my life easier in each war I’ve been in but I know we never get the chance to tell you how proud we are to have you on our side. Things are going to get serious in 7-8 months so be ready.
👍🏻🇺🇸✌️🏴🇬🇧
Hope you are wrong about the 7-8 mos thing, but think you may be right
Why? Is terrorist America going to start terrorising even more innocent countries?
Less than that
The elite are tired of waiting.
It'll come sooner.
As an artillery Marine, it's really cool to get an inside look on some niche MOS's we have in our military. Logistics wins wars, proven by Eisenhower in WW2. EVERY single person in the military is essential and vital.
I wish mechanics at the jeep shop treated my vehicle this well!
Well it's a jeep and they know it.
You'll be back.
You mean they dont? 😅😅😅😅
Truly excellent to have a glimpse of the 'Unsung Heros' who spend thousands of hours in out of the way workshops and offices maintaining such equipment - Thanks for posting.
Well done. This is probably one of the only honest channel's that actualy shows what is ADVERTISED on the icon. Thank ypu. Great vid 😅😅😅😅
Some corrections: The Sailors working on the jet engines are ADs not ATs. Those same Sailors testing the engines on the test cell are also ADs (aviation machinist mates).

This is one of those military jobs I never new existed. Now that I think about it, the tires on those jets probably need to be replaced all the time with as much as they come and go.
I never get tired of these aircraft carrier videos. The amount of equipment & man power is amazing. On the flip side, I'm also amazed at how quiet and peaceful the maintenance work seems to be, and if true it's probably better that way.
Wow so they can actually open up the jet engines, and clean the compressor blades. The video makes it look easier than working on a car !
As a retired USAF jet engine specialist, I'm surprised to learn here that intermediate level jet engine maintenance is performed aboard ship. Very cool! Thanks for showcasing these wonderful, dedicated and hard working enlisted folks making it all happen!
Where else would they do it?
@@MattTee1975 On land when they return to port.
@@guspaz Floats last for months. There's no way to do required maintenance and repairs waiting to return to port.
@@MattTee1975yes, and that’s why they don’t do it on land. I was answering the question of, if not at sea, then where. There’s still work that they can’t do at sea.
They all come out from serving our country and into skilled positions and responsible citizens.
This is why I think 90% of our issues with our youth would be solved by them serving our country in the military or public service.
I be the first to admit that I was dumb punk that straighten my ass up once in boot camp. I learned a skill that I was proud of that earned me a chance to make something of myself in life.
Thanks bud 🤙🏻🇺🇸
Excellent glimpse into the quiet--but important--stuff that keeps an incredibly complex system-of-systems like a nuclear aircraft carrier at the peak of its performance and safety regimen. Thank you!
with those tire skills, you are guaranteed a good job at Midas when you become a civilian.
مذهل و مدهش و ممتع
I remember these days I worked the Tire shop on the Nimitz and the George Washington back in the late 90's good times. Seems these shipmates have it pretty easy now. Our presses were always out of action. Thankfully the oven and deep, deep freeze worked for doing besring races. We used rubber sledges to break tire beads.
This is a lot more than repairing tires🤣 God Bless those men and women, a fantastic calling.
A noble profession.
Awesome Video !! Semper Fi to my Brothers aboard this carrier !!
Ladies don't get a shout out mate? Oh you're sucking on a lollipop. That answers my question.
Incredibly interesting
❤Thank You For Your Service❤
No tyres means no planes to undertake missions. It is a simple basic that.
I noticed a couple of crewmen wearing shirts with the GE and Rolls Royce logos. Are there civilian technicians onboard working alongside Navy personnel?
yes
we had a Westinghouse rep to help us with the fire control radar on the F-4J
he was kind of worthless, though
lol
Panasonic Tuffbook! The US Government must have bought tens of thousands of them.
seriously cool.
Did the first cruise (with aircraft) on the USS Nimitz in the Summer of '76. a Med. VMFA-333.
That was 48 years ago. 😲
What an experience!
AT only work on electronics not power plants. Radar, communications, IFF systems and sonar.
I was hoping someone would point this out. AD's handle the power plants.
And MM's (like me) worked down in the engine rooms, operating the boilers and main engines and such. We never touched aircraft engines.
Is that a huge ultrasonic rim cleaner
what happens when the drop tanks are dropped do they recover them later on?or does it just depend where they drop them.
Who else remembers NALCOMIS and Green MAFS?
All those ppl don’t get enough credit. All day they do that shit. I would hate to be on a carrier if I wasn’t flying. It yes Hod bless those men and women cuz it’s for sure needed. But damn it a good navy life- idk. I shouldn’t say that. My hats off to all those ppl. Cuz I can’t stop thing about flying but in private pilot. I do want to be my own mechanic
But gotta fly. Also. It just a mechanic. I want to be pilot first. Then I maintain my own shit
Now you know why it takes over 5,000 men and women, to keep this ship running strong!
CTIC(SS) Rode the Enterprise twice, Midway, and Carl Vinson. Now the language test control officer in Pensacola. Get to meet a lot of young aviation school Sailors and Officers passing through.
I dont get it.... why dont they use ice blasters to clean out the engines on jets,, rather than sitting there with a file? the blaster will get it back to brand new and wont wreck the part,,, but the guy sitting there with a file? now the engine has to be "rebalanced" or is there something im not seeing
at 2:27, the two rotor blade attach bolts at the 9:00 position are being safetied backwards
background - I'm a US Navy Vietnam veteran, retired from a corporate aviation repair station with 20 year gig as an inspector. Also looks like he has too many turns on the wire.

2:45 I wonder why military love these hand-crank speeder handle wrenches. Why not electric power tools?
A reading video. Miss half the video because of all the reading.
Join the Coast Guard much better life.

So when the jet engines are tested, is the exhaust aimed aft ?
Yes. Aft of your mom.
Nitrogen is a inert gas and does not expand at all. Tires are not repaired they are replaced. F-18's have two engines not one.
Nitpick, much? You probably sat in the theater and said: "They didn't have the need for speed, they had the need for acceleration."
@@texaswunderkind What's your problem with the truth?
@@CaptainSwoopsettle down Jack Nicholson.
Military men gaining skills they can use at Pep Boy's!
I used mine (as a Radar Tech MOS 6657) to get a job in the Computer repair field with Datapoint (1979) The Manager that hired me had a big handful of college boy resumes.
He prefered a Marine who had a Secet clearance that had made it through Parris Island.
Never looked back
hornet has two engines
Boy you're good.
As soon as ads interrupt, im out. Just sayin
like negativo per publicita eccessiva
negative like due to excessive advertising
Errr yeh pretty easy…..sigh
The video is interesting.
But the 'commentary' is lame.

🎉🎉🎉🎉 SHALOM King Rims. Soooo u King's handle those Big Wheels that The Air Plane Pilot's hit cornerstone in the Glory Sky. Well. Well high you guys doing. U know I told Abba church about u guy's. Thank you for keeping everyone safe in the sky with that equipment. Happy Abba Feast.
Kon kon ye video avi dekh rha h wo like kre❤
So, according to you, Navy ships did not have any fresh water prior to the 1960s? Please explain.
Fresh water had to be transported to the carrier. The carrier did not process sea water into fresh water internally.
Use your brain. It means they had to store all their freshwater in tanks, and if it ran out, they're SOL.
Nitrogen keeps tires cooler than air and it expands slower? WHAT? Who is writing such crap info?
It's true. Look it up. About 20% cooler.
It is used because normal air has moisture and oxygen which promote oxidation of metals and rubber. Moisture in normal air also causes larger changes in pressure with changes in temperature. If you remove the oxygen and moisture from normal air you have a gas which is about 99% Nitrogen. So, it is not so much that they want nitrogen, nitrogen is just what is left when they remove what they do not want.
Pretty disappointing video. As a qualified tyre fitter i was looking forward to seeing how fighter get wheels and tyres are maintained. Instead it was a very brief glossing over.
😂😂😂😂
