Navy Electronics Technician - ET
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- The Navy is one of the most circuit-ridden and electrically charged entities in the world. We have wires running everywhere, to everything, and that means we need expert electricians. Navy Electronics Technicians are jacks-of-all-trades and since our electrical system powers almost everything we need, they are irreplaceable. Our equipment doesn’t just work, it withstands the harshest conditions thanks to our ETs. Whether you’re stationed on land or at sea, on a sub or a carrier, you have to be quick with your hands and smart with your solutions. See what it takes to be an ET at bit.ly/2rzG921.
Sounds accurate. You really don't understand what you're supposed to be doing a lot of the time like the guy said. They kinda call you up and say "This broke, you need to fix it" and sometimes it's stuff you didn't get training on.
The training of electrical /electronics - theory of electrical energy (Ohm's law - etc) is absolute important. Once understood you can fix anything - basic rules apply to all. Just have understanding of how Michael Farady / Clark Maxwell / Voltaire / Tesla / etc made their discoveries.
I bet the Navy has some very cool stuff to work on! 👍
Former ET here, 1980 to 1986. Got out as an ET1(SW). Looks like a lot of new stuff out there but I think I could still teach these folks some soldering skills! LOL 40+ years later and I still use and teach folks the US Navy 6 step troubleshooting method.
I’d like to learn my self haha
Just curious what is the six step method?
You lie. You might have made E5 in that time but no way to make E6 in 6 years. Minimun time in rate as an e4 to e5 is 1 year and time in rate from e5 to e6 is 3 years. So from the time you graduated et school and received e4 that would put you at the 7 year mark. Go Navy!
@@northernpikes7545 I made E6 in less than 6 years when I was in. 2009-2015.

Respect to the American Navy.. By a friend from Tanzania.. I always watch US Navy's videos.. So cool
Former Navy ET.
Boot in FLA in Aug of 88 and schooling (A and C) until May of 1990. I still made E-5 in less than 3 years. I was able to move up fast because I was well trained.
After reporting to my ship, they soon sent me back to attend AN/SPA-25G C school in Oct of 1990 at the 32nd St annex ET C “school house”.
As I remember it, that SPA was constantly over heating because it didn’t have an exhaust fan.
While in the gulf (the A/C wasn’t the best) I had to open it up almost every day to let heat out.
It frequently would flake out due to overheating and one of the CIC guys would wake me up at 3 am.
Good times!
Proud ET right here!
How's the rate
I am in training for it now
@@crosskirby4216Howd it go? Is the training difficult and does it require mathematics?
Im off to boot camp tomorrow, then A school for ET. This made me want to push myself harder.
That's what we're talking about!
Basic Electricity and Electronics 1978, San Diego NTC. ET-A school early 1979, Great Lakes, Illinois.
NAVMACS C School back in San Diego. First ship Pearl Harbor 1980.
Veteran now.
What a ride!
I'd do it all over again!
I am just now hearing this, I'm the "narrator" in this video 😂
Hey, I want to join the army to become an ET, how long is the training process?
@@kalbazi987 This is the Navy.
@@michaelfojas5561 really now
@@cocosack8692 yes, really.
Did you get paid
Going into the AECF program which is ET and FC (Electronics Technician/Fire Controlman). I'm excited!!
Taylor Mobley me too
Same here leave for basic December 17th
kamal mahdi lucky you. I’m waiting on a waiver. But I’ll be catching up with ya
@@kamalmahdi2144 That's funny , A Chief called me and said they want me to switch to that program from DamageControlman,Said it would leave Dec 17th.Im still not sure.
Wait for att
as a former Navy ET2 (SW) boot camp Orlando 93... A school was in Orlando... C school training in San Diego (x3) fiber optic technician, 2m repair, and EHF specialist..first duty station was Pearl Harbor... I can say I loved my Naval career... great video
Everything Technician. SPA-25 Golf. I wish! I worked on the SPA-25 Charlie. My oldest piece of gear was an SRN-6 TACAN. My favorite piece of gear was the Collins R-390. Best rig ever. I believe it was the R-2368 replacing the R-1051. The AN/WSC-3 was a good rig. Not enough power. Hope they fixed that.
Just signed my contract today for AECF I hope I get ET 🤞
I signed for mine in January. Just got to A school last week and I'm an FC. I think they are both great rates

See everyone in Great Lakes 👍
Hello from Michigan
Going to Basic Training as AECF (et and fc) in 10 days wish me Luck!
You got this 💪💪💪
Do ET's get to phone home often?
Underrated comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Current ETN3 here. Can't wait for the fleet. 👍🏻
The key rule of thumb with electronics: Always keep the smoke on the inside.
I worked industrial environments - PLC's / freq.drives 3 ph /old school relay logic / hydraulics - up to 1,000 ton presses - directional valves - accumulators - etc / extruder - 400+ up motor controls / everything pneumatic / chillers - water treatment/maintenance / tons of mechanical stuff - welding etc - structural analysis.....product development (molded plastics). Worked on "turn key start ups" (A real joke of a term). Now retired....doing self-employed work as a handyman (repairing lots of cars tho! b'cuz of electronics).
Maybe I should've joined Navy?
Go Navy....good career 😜👍
Wouldn’t mind doing this for 20 years.
Thats my boy right there lmao
Made ET2 in a little under 4 years !! It’s been real
New ET here!
How long is your A school?
Fishing With Senpai my contract says up to 22 weeks but I don’t know, I ship out June 30 for AECF
Fishing With Senpai currently in A school right now for ET it’s about 4 months ish. First you go through ATT. Just get through boot camp and then focus on school
How important is electronics in modern warfare?
I’m a rising junior in high school and I’m interested in being and ET what do you recommend that I do to prepare myself for the job
Absolutely nothing. Focus on getting through bootcamp first at Great Lakes. They teach you everything when you go through TSC whether AECF takes you through the path of an FC or ET
I recommend ET and not FC. They'll tell you in boot camp that FC blow stuff up. Not true. You'll get more experience as an ET. But remember its a lot of studying for ET school at great lakes. Good luck when you join
Jacob Moreno thanks!!
James kuhlman thanks!! I know with some jobs in the military they go based off of prior learning and I wasn’t sure if this was one of them
@@bumbleeistheequeen4052 just make sure you can score good on the ASVAB. That's really it. That's the main factor about what job you'll get to pick after the mouse wheel that is MEPS. I just got all that done and am going in ET, shipping out in 5 days actually. You don't need a super high score. High 60s can get you ET dude. The A and C school teaches you everything you need too know.
Going to basic then A school for this exact grade OHHYEAH NAVY
You got this ⚓️
Woooow.. that so amazing...
HOOYAH!
quiero postular , para esa especialidad
Excelente
You know FC is the better rate;)
Will this help a person transition as an electrician in the civilian world?
No
So does the Navy teach you how to fix and repair all of these electronics?
Im an msc graduate in electronics. Im confused about my career. I don't know which course i should choose after this.. whould you help me .??
Hi there, thank you for reaching out! You should reach out to a recruiter who can explain all of your options before you join. You can have one directly reach out to you by filling out this form: bit.ly/3m94XbC
Hi! Thanks For this channel.
Please help! How to dismantle radio on mini portable cd player? The cd player powered is by double AA batteries. Im super curious. Thanks
This comment is hilarious, to me. Man went to a US Navy ad for a technical electrician job and asked how to dismantle a radio.
ETV >>>>>
Anyone leaving in Aug?
leaving in June, one month after graduation
HOOYAH!
@@Billy-sp4or same here! Hope to see you at Bootcamp. I ship out June 9th
I also ship out in june
⚓⚓⚓
Do u have to be enlisted or can u be an ET as an Officer?
ET is an enlisted rate
ET and FC are one of the fastest ways to officer in the Navy. They rank up fast. That’s what I’m trying to do.
Going to nuke school, hopefully I get to become an ET 👍👍
⚓️⚓️⚓️
Going in as an aefc in april. How do you pick fc or et
you dont you just get one
HOOYAH!!
I heard as of today it is a 60/40 split on preference and what the Navy needs. This was current updated info from my Petty Officer who is about to ship out to the fleet as an ET again.
What score is needed to get this job ?
Line scores vary. But 60ish generally gets most people in
I'd disagree that you guys get the most technical training, 2M techs maybe but beyond that a CIWS FC knows a hell of alot more.
FC (CIWS) Knows more mechanical, but in the Electronics field the ET A and C schools are more broad.
@@foxbodyblues6709 amen to that
Bullshit. I worked on everything electronic on my ship except the CIWS and EW stuff. The only thing the FC’s worked on was the CIWS. You were a glorified gunners mate and that’s why they berthed you guys with the boatswains. My NEC was in surface and air search radar so don’t reply back with some FC bullshit.
ITs make money when they get out of the Navy. ETs dont.
Why?
@@KAXSH Because the demand for network engineers and cyber security individuals is high (especially with a clearance), and the demand for electronics techs is not. If you're an ET and want to make money on the outside learn as much IT networking as possible.
@@kierangallagher5687 You are wrong specifically navy ET’s and as well as coast guard ET’s are very marketable in the marine transportation industry Cargo ships, tankers, and cruise ships all use ET’s. Furthermore The IT rate is taught to ET’s in a “C” school while IT’s will never be able to do the work of a ET
@@jordyb2193 The marine sector you mentioned is incredibly small and often requires extensive travel. Also, Most ETs dont receive ISM training and don't work on IT systems- some do, but most do not. The IT rate provides sailors with far better job opportunities after departing the military. That is undeniable.
@@kierangallagher5687 I’ll run it all the way back for you to your earlier comment about “network engineers” and “cybersecurity individuals”. They have 4 year degrees and certifications coming out of college. IT3 on the other had that just got out of the navy has “A” school and a “dd214” they are not the same no mater what your recruiter told you.
