From a retired Army Infantry Senior NCO, we have the greatest Navy because of young men and women who do what others are afraid of. You’ve made my life easier in each war I’ve been in but I know we never get the chance to tell you how proud we are to have you on our side. Things are going to get serious in 7-8 months so be ready.

As a retired USAF jet engine specialist, I'm surprised to learn here that intermediate level jet engine maintenance is performed aboard ship. Very cool! Thanks for showcasing these wonderful, dedicated and hard working enlisted folks making it all happen!

Truly excellent to have a glimpse of the 'Unsung Heros' who spend thousands of hours in out of the way workshops and offices maintaining such equipment - Thanks for posting.

As an artillery Marine, it's really cool to get an inside look on some niche MOS's we have in our military. Logistics wins wars, proven by Eisenhower in WW2. EVERY single person in the military is essential and vital.

@CIS101 Ай бұрын

I never get tired of these aircraft carrier videos. The amount of equipment & man power is amazing. On the flip side, I'm also amazed at how quiet and peaceful the maintenance work seems to be, and if true it's probably better that way.

This is one of those military jobs I never new existed. Now that I think about it, the tires on those jets probably need to be replaced all the time with as much as they come and go.

They all come out from serving our country and into skilled positions and responsible citizens. This is why I think 90% of our issues with our youth would be solved by them serving our country in the military or public service. I be the first to admit that I was dumb punk that straighten my ass up once in boot camp. I learned a skill that I was proud of that earned me a chance to make something of myself in life.

Wow so they can actually open up the jet engines, and clean the compressor blades. The video makes it look easier than working on a car !

Excellent glimpse into the quiet--but important--stuff that keeps an incredibly complex system-of-systems like a nuclear aircraft carrier at the peak of its performance and safety regimen. Thank you!

I remember these days I worked the Tire shop on the Nimitz and the George Washington back in the late 90's good times. Seems these shipmates have it pretty easy now. Our presses were always out of action. Thankfully the oven and deep, deep freeze worked for doing besring races. We used rubber sledges to break tire beads.

I dont get it.... why dont they use ice blasters to clean out the engines on jets,, rather than sitting there with a file? the blaster will get it back to brand new and wont wreck the part,,, but the guy sitting there with a file? now the engine has to be "rebalanced" or is there something im not seeing

All those ppl don’t get enough credit. All day they do that shit. I would hate to be on a carrier if I wasn’t flying. It yes Hod bless those men and women cuz it’s for sure needed. But damn it a good navy life- idk. I shouldn’t say that. My hats off to all those ppl. Cuz I can’t stop thing about flying but in private pilot. I do want to be my own mechanic

Nitrogen is a inert gas and does not expand at all. Tires are not repaired they are replaced. F-18's have two engines not one.

Nitrogen keeps tires cooler than air and it expands slower? WHAT? Who is writing such crap info?

It's true. Look it up. About 20% cooler.

@geodun Ай бұрын

It is used because normal air has moisture and oxygen which promote oxidation of metals and rubber. Moisture in normal air also causes larger changes in pressure with changes in temperature. If you remove the oxygen and moisture from normal air you have a gas which is about 99% Nitrogen. So, it is not so much that they want nitrogen, nitrogen is just what is left when they remove what they do not want.
