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

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!

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!

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

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.

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.

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'm 32, I ship out soon. I'll be turning 33 around the time I hit A-School. I choose AV/ FTS and I'm so happy I found this video! THANK 🎉❤

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.

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

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 !
