What countries do AO go to??

I want to join the us navy SOOO badly!!

U.S.C. § 552a

The food at the golf course in china lake is pretty good ngl

Outstanding. This frog approves. Great Officer in the making.

I have a question

How difficult was the A school? Were there a lot of Airmen getting sent undesignated for not passing certain tests?

@Saymalii I can only partially agree with some of your commentary in your video. Agreed, there are significant differences between ships company and squadron AO's. Although, there is much more in the community that you're not describing. Shore billets and ships company billets, equitably are also not the same. May I also poont out AIMD at sea and ashore, likewise are incredibly different. As for daily to weekly tasks [and beyond], the 3M maintenance system is extremely active on board, as with aircraft maintenance. I served 1989-1999, NAS Fallon Weapons BA/RA, Admin and QA Logistics. Atop, being an AOAN, assigned as Transportation P.O. [dailies and maintenance scheduling/repairs of 8 4k electric forklifs, 2 6k electric forklifts, 4 6k RT forklifts, 3 semi tractors, 2 flatbed trailers, 2 beavertail trailers, 8 stake bed trucks, 5 1/2 ton pick up trucks, 4 vans, 10 JG-40 tow tractors], assisted with plant equipment maintenance and inventory, alongside duties of ordnance build ups and break downs (as applicable), munitions transport throughout the base as well as deliveries off base, receiving varying ordnance and related components via tractor/trailer deliveries and much more. We did have a pretty well oiled process and tight knit group throughout all of our Divisions. I cannot speak on AIMD; either ashore or afloat, I did not pull such a billet. Yet, have worked closely with AO counterparts in that capacity. Onward to the USS Nimitz (CVN-68), G-3, G-3 D.C and WEPS D.C. Again, build ups, break downs (as applicable), but then the maintenance requirements via Mag series or on the D.C. side definitely contained their requirements. Assisting other series in their activities; as needed, our group was relatively tight and successful in our endeavors. The adjoining with others from other departments throughout the ship while engaged in the IFP [In Port Fire Party] allowed a broader scope of bonding with your entire crew. Also participating in the SAF [Ship's Augmentation Force; security detail] aligned even more unity with other crew members. As it comes to squadron life, each aircraft type has their own bonds too. Similarities, but grand differences. I have worked with EA-6B's [VAQ-129], P-3's [VP-69] and F-18's VFA-204]. Each shack had their own style and complexities of comoradery. As for the tools, I don't believe I EVER heard of a 'pass' for a missing tool. No matter where or what capacity, FOD is an absolute issue to ward away from. The potential of a FOD incident is not only isolated to aircraft. Any system or equipment can become damaged and potentially cause harm, if tools, equipment and materials are not meticulously accounted for. Even 25 years after being discharged from active service, I personally strive to maintain that meticulous approach to tools, materials and equipment, especially at clean up. Our rate is filled with some of the best, the Navy has ever had. Our brothers and sisters; no mater what billet(s) they've held, remain AO's!! IYAOYAS!!!

nothing but the ao’s left right your leeeeyyyft were the aos

Thank you, for your service.

Going in AO for the coast guard

82 to 92 AO on the west side,here's how I did it and not a lot of sea duty.Sea/shore rotation back then was four sea two shore.First duty station out of A school was shore duty because of high grades at A school,it was AIMD Lemoore,Ca.Worked on bomb racks, missle launchers and m61a1 20 mm gun.That was two years.Next was magazine duty at Diego Garcia for a year and I extended for another year.That counted for sea duty and I got a cash bonus and free thirty days basket leave for that.I burned up the extra leave by taking a C-141 flight to Clark Air base Philippines for a week every three months.Came back to NAS Lemoore and joined VA-97 Warhawks with the old venerable A-7 for two years.Did some work ups at fallon Nevada then went on my first west-pac cruise.Ended up going on another west-pac cruise with them but transitioned out halfway through for shore orders.Finished my ten year career back at strike fighter weapons school as a nuclear and conventional weapons loading instructor/inspector in lemoore.Actually only did less than two years sea duty that way.Had I stayed in I would have gone back to my squadron for four years sea duty and they were in the middle of transitioning to the legacy hornets.All in all a really fun ride and would do it again! IYAOYAS 🧙‍♂️

Good evening, I have a question. I plan on doing core, but my end goal is IP. I've researched the likeability of someone in my rate to get picked for IP, and I know it decreases my chances of getting accepted significantly. So the question is, on my personal statement, should I have core and not mention IP, or have IP but let the reader know I'm going into the core program? God Bless.

You started out by saying it's not about the money but then say pay a little extra for more freedom and convenience. Sorry BUT ITS ALWAYS ABOUT THE MONEY

Yo man. I am at NSI right now and honestly I want you to know that your videos helped a lot of people including myself on getting information/prepared for the STA-21 journey. There is so little information out there regarding this program and its good to see someone helping others out with the niche stuff. Looking forward to seeing you commission.

This is my experience after being an AO, IYABYAS. These Mo-Fu always had special treatment above every other color.

Shipping out May 2nd!!!

I ship out the 28th of May this year, and my job will be an AO.

Shipping out may 1st !!! Excited!!

Can i get this rate with a green card?

Is it possible to get selected 1st time up for sta 21? Asking because I’ll be a 1 shot and done I think. Due to age.

Hello. Are you willing to assist active duty sailors with STA-21 packages? Unfortunately, help in the fleet is often limited. Please let me know and thank you for your time.

My was CWO4 AO...very proud of him

I’m joining as an AO do I get to choose if I wanna be ships company or squadron?

Thanks for the video! Beautiful vibes

I was told to keep my mustache in regs. But that’s we’re I’m getting ingrown. Should I still keep my stash in regs or can I let it fully grow?

Pimpin ain't easy but someone gotta do it. Awesome video brother IYAOYAS

appreciate the honesty i get shipped out soon ⚓️

This helped so much! I was wondering if I should apply just in case. Thank you for the guidance.

Hi, is there an email I can contact you at regarding the STA-21 program? Some mentoring from someone who got accepted will really help.

Can you take leave while in school ?

Old time AO. “A SCHOOL Jacksonville ‘67, 3 combat cruises in VIET NAM, A4S AND A7S VA-155. After all these years my crew is still in contact. Loved it!

IYAOYAS✅✅✅ WARHEADS ON FOURHEADSSS BEST RATE IN THE NAVY HANDS DOWNN

Hello , is there a way i can contact you with some questions i have regarding STAT-21?

Thank you so much for this. I’m writing my personal statement now and I’m having writers block. This helped me extremely. 🤞🏻

Hey brother thanks for your services

Cocos is great but ghorkas is my favorite. Also brown door ramen over red door.

Do your thang, bro. I see you

Is it like boot camp all over again? Physically ?

Thanks a lot for all these helpful insights I’m going through the process now.

Hey I’m doing Co-Location to be stationed closer with my husband who is going overseas we both in different branches my order was changed and approved 3 weeks ago do you know how much longer will I have to wait? I’m currently still in A school

IYAOYAS mutha sukka!!!! what up fellow BB stacker!!!? I had a blast too. I loved that everyone else hated us as the "thugs" of the base. Dropping Warheads on Foreheads!!!!! 97 to 2008. I remember those buildings when I first got to Pensacola too!! I was in awe of the clean base, and the Naval Traditions. Was the ether bunny around still?

Haha you said semen

Great advice! Awaiting results for FY24!

Program is only good for those with associate degrees, and you have to get through (NAVY OCS). If you have to go through OCS, you should just go Air Force...this is why, If you have a bachelor's degree...go in the Air Force as a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Operator (pilot) !!! No ship duty and guaranteed 3 promotions in your first 4 years (01-03). What the Navy does not tell you is if you are coming in with no prior service...your first promotion won't happen for 12 years to W2........WTH? Your first assignment is at sea guaranteed. Also warrant pilots are looked down at and treated different in Navy aviation (2nd class citizens) If you Go AF: You will be a Major (04 on pay chart) in 12 years ...compare W2 and O4 Pay....this program is great for already enlisted members but terrible for civilians. The Air Force is a better life and NO SEA DUTY...If you have to go through OCS, anyway, might as well just do it and get a commission instead of a warrant. AIM HIGH...see your local AF Recruiter...If you have an associate degree and are a civilian (or in the Navy getting ready to get out) go to the nearest AFROTC unit at the University...in 2 years, you can have a Bachelors and a commission in the AF.....JUST SAYING (W2 at 12yrs 5,704.50) (04 Major at 12 yrs. 8,665.50) Just plain common sense here.

Thanks for the upload! I was stationed in Iwakuni from 1985-1986 and Yokosuka from 1994-1996 and enjoyed my tours greatly! You're right and exact in everything you said in this video!

The way the test schedule sounds it sounds like corpsman A-school (corp school)

I got a 1110 on my SAT is that enough?

By the way didnt realize my post comes up as my wife happily married but i brian patrick gallagher VFA27 Lemoore CA off the kitty hawk in san dog
