Thanks, I'm taking 15T and leaving to Jackson on the 24th of February.

Is ait difficult ?

Did you enjoy this MOS?

@john lowery Former 67/15T..must be a JL thing😆. ✌️to the doppelganger

I know its been 3 years since this comment so I don’t really expect a response, but Im planning on joining as a 15T and I’d just like to know about life out of the army how easy was it finding a civilian job relevant to what you did in the army what was that job and what company? Im mostly concerned with life after the army and I just want to know if getting a job in aviation afterwards was an awful endeavor or a fairly easy experience

What?

This is top tier advice.

That’s what I’m doing…Option one for 15U

In Fort Riley now it was dope not a tango I’m a Romeo but not to bad just sucked bc of COVID

@kk you’ll get through basic training easily it’s all mental it’s not to hard but fort Eustis should be more lenient bc Covid is slowing down so u should be able to leave base and do fun stuff in AIT

Yeah he didn't make it

How is it?

Welcome to Charlie Co

When u leave for basic

You’re not gonna be a “door gunner”, but you can be a crew chief. If you perform well they will put you in a flight company. I spent 6 months in a delta company until I switched to B co. It’s worth the hard work I promise

This get is super excited but he will most likely get stuck in D Co turning wrenches 😂

What are the requirements

I’m going this summer for 15T how hard is AIT? Any tips and what to expect?

Nice mate

Does this require a clearance?

Awesome man! Can you message me i am talking with a recruiter now, interested in this job

@@gsabella4 you can talk to me I'm graduating from AIT on December 4th

Gerardo Avila no.

Did u get it? I see ur pfp changed

KingZD1 when did you score on the asvab yo get this?

@@matty9699 I enlisted as active for this mos. I scored a 60 on the asvab and qualified

@@obi1colby757 umm... do you mean PICAT? I scored a 67 on it and getting this job as well.

I graduate ait in 1 month

When do you ship for basic?

I could be wrong, so do specific research and don't go off my word, but you need the FAA endourcement to be an A&P and your unit could potentially sponsor ypu to get the A&P without the need of GI bill, amd you might, might idk need to do three years minimum to get it. Again do your own research

So you were able to get it even though you wore glasses? The counselor said I couldn't due to it.

Yes

You pull parts off, and out new ones on. Over and over and over.

No. The only math really used is for measuring and calculating things like shim stack ups. The more in depth "numbers" MOS' would be the B/D/N/F guys. T/U/R are just glorified parts changers. You pull parts off and hand them over to the guys mentioned before.

its a six year contract

Brennen Jones six year, good luck getting a bonus as well

Yo just got this job 6 year reserves with 7,000 bonus

its easy. just pay attention

No, All instructions and procedures are on a computer. You read the directions, do the work then come back and write in detail what you did. The computer stuff i hard to get use to at first.

It depends on what company you get put into when you graduate ait, you could get lucky and go straight into a flight company but more than likely you'll go to a maintenance company first and then try to transition later. Also its better to go maintenance first imo so your proficient on the aircraft before you start crewing. I was in maintenance company for about a year before switching

@@morganthorla685 what is the transition from maintenane? Is it difficult?

@@K-TRAIN_MUSIC An aviation unit with blackhawks will typically be split up into 4 companies. A,B,C companies will be known as flight companies. The Blackhawks of that unit "belong" to those companies. If you want to be a crewchief, you go there. However, almost every new 15T goes to D. Co first. D Co. Specializes in maintenance only. Flight companies will typically send their aircraft to D co for heavier maintenance. Normally what happens is flight companies will notify d co. When they need more personnel, at that time you may be asked if you want to go flight. If you say yes(sometimes there may not be a choice) you'll go to one of those flight companies. In order to fly you'll still need to pass special medical requirements for flying, attend academics, and then progress through training to be a fully qualified crew chief. In the meantime, you'll still be doing maintenence, washing aircraft, etc. Your basic job never changes, a 15T is a maintainer first, flying is just a bonus. Most people believe, including myself, it's better to spend some time in D. Co first learning to be a mechanic, getting used to things before you go flight. Hope that helps. Just know that flying is a cool perk of the job, but maintenance is always the top priority.

@@K-TRAIN_MUSIC you also could be assigned to an ASB, aviation support battalion, whose only job is heavy maintenance. No flight companies. In that case, to be a crewchief, you'd have to switch to another battalion to fly. That's not impossible or anything, just a little less common than switching companies within a battalion.

wake up. go to school. few hours of free time. repeat.

Yes

No, but you can get it while active duty or after you get out.

if you get a flight slot in an assault battalion you will get to fire the 240b medevac just has m4s and m9s although some crew chiefs have 249s in country

@@trollincodfagsit’s the 240h’s we shoot not the bravos, but assault battalions are better to crew chief for imo

I went to the office not long ago, was open for me, if not this one you could work on apaches, make sure you pick multiple mos’s before going to meps like 3 or 4, jobs open and close, it ain’t 100% your job till you sign the contract for it at meps which I go to Monday.

Call around different recruiters and tell them all you're interested in is being a 15t trust me I've been in for over a yr recruiters want you to join they'll make it happen if you're willing to walk out the door if you don't get the mos

Yea same my recruiter said it wasn’t available either but surely enough I waited a bit and went to meps twice and it was available

Heyo! Just swore in as one.

E. K. Meador swearing in Wednesday for 15T!

I just swore in as a 15T, give me you're juicy information

@@isaacstewart3601 first of all congratulations! Dude I love it! That being said, be ready to work tour ass off, either if you go to a flight company or stay in maintenance, you are going to be working LOOOOOG hours no matter what. But trust me, you are going to learn a lot, and meet really cool people. Do you have any questions?

@@manucatanio Alright good to know, I'm extremely motivated to start so hopefully that carries over into me being able to get through long work days. What was your AIT experience like? How would you rate it difficully wise?

Why are you now? I am a 91H and i’m thinking about switching to aviation

@@rproductions214 I’m a 42A i can’t stand it

I wanna reclass too. Do you know how long it takes til we get to reclass?

@@kearagelera1556 you need to be a year in your window
