If I can't become a 153A, I'll go for a 15U. Amazing footage!

How difficult is the training for this mos?

[@cnknguyen]

Its a bit of a process. You would need to be a 15U, which is a CH-47F repairer, then not suck at that job and show some motivation. After that you'd be selected by the flight company (usually going from a delta company to a bravo company in a GSAB) to begin progression through 3 readiness levels, once you reach RL1 you're FMQ and get assigned an aircraft once you make FE (you need to go from RL1 CE to RL1 FE..from there you can progress to FI, then SI with advanced schools). Each level has a series of tasks associated with whats called a CTL (commanders task list) that you will be evaluated on through a checkride with an FI or SI. One great benefit, other than being the best job in the Army, is that if you decide you wanted to be a pilot, its easy to get letters of recommendation from your peers, as long as you're not a lazy shitbag. Good luck to you brother.

Are you tethered when you’re doing this?

[@cnknguyen]

Yes sir, but we have to be careful as the tether is still long enough to let us get almost all the way out of the helicopter. Some times an FE won't set up their tail properly and then they become the slingload lol

[@melvinelder3587]

@@cnknguyen ah okay lol….. I was just wondering. I didn’t see a tether and I thought that would be pretty sketchy to be hanging half way out of the bird without one, make the ride more exciting that’s for sure haha

What mos I wanna change to this so bad

[@cnknguyen]

It's a 15U MOS, but you need to be selected for flight. It's generally the best maintainers with the right mindset that are selected. Good luck brother.
