[@lilredwood5385]

[@thealliedspy4170]

HELL naw, most new enlistees are around that age.

[@EddieLeal]

I was a light wheel vehicle mechanic as well fro 10.5 years. Enlisted in the USAF and worked as a vehicle mechanic for 9.5 and retired in 2012. During my time in service our MOS was 63B .Our AIT was at Ft Leonard Wood MO. I believe it's at Ft Jackson.

Hey I came across your vids and I just subbed bc one day I hope to be a wheeled vehicle mechanic as well I been into the army for about 4-5 years and it’s always got my attention I’m 15 years old and right when I graduate high school I want to do this because it looks super fun. Hopefully my dream comes true I might see you in a few years 💯👀

[@jessicataylor5001]

And the funny thing is now you have to put that Woodcreek back together return the transmission cooler back to the parts department LOL 😆

[@bryanleal9836]

It looks like to me it's the 4l80e transmission on those hummvee since I been in the automotive industry already for 2 years I'm going to the army as well 91bmos and probably going to bring home a "bad unit" and replace inspect it, probably replace bushings seals gaskets and put a billiet aluminum inputshaft as well sunnex valve body modification kit as well dill some holes to increase amount of fluid to bushings because some of those tend to fail for lack of lubrication overtime as they're clogged probably do an accumulator delete and get a good quality of clutch disk and steel plates and all with the modification being said it'll cost a total of 1200 dollars but worth it because it'll be able to handle 1200hp all day long boom can't wait to go

[@ClessieCummins254]

I'm not sure if an army mechanic is going to understand all that you said. In this video, they are just replacing a transmission. I doubt they get into rebuilding transmissions.

[@ClessieCummins254]

I see videos of army mechanics physically being in the shop for long hours. But most of the videos show they screw around a lot. For example, in this video they are making skate board out of the crate the transmission comes in. In a real shop in the real world, you wouldn't have time for this. Obviously not being paid flat rate. LOL.

If i were to pick this mos the contract would be 4 years correct ? and then could i use the GI bill to go to automotive school and learn more skills and find a well paying job ? sorry is lot , couldnt find much info online . thanks :)

Hi mate im thinking of joining the british army buddy and i want to a vehicle mechanic for the B A KEEP UP THE GOOD CONTENT QUICK QUESTION CAN I STILL JOIN WITH AUTISM THANKS JOE

[@eastw88dredd38]

Mostly depends on your medical history with autism if you don’t or haven’t taken medication for it in the past x amount of years then it shouldn’t be a problem they just wanna make do re it it’s t going to slow you down for get in the way of anything but if not I’m sure they can waiver it off and get you enlisted either way. I know it not the same but I was “diagnosed” with ADHD at a young age but never took meds when I told my recruiter he said if a doctor didn’t tell me I had it then I didn’t have it so unless it comes up at MEPS don’t say anything if you feel like you it’s not that’s serious. Whatever it takes to get in. GoodLuck future soldier. I ship out the 2nd week of January for 91B also (mechanic).

Soldiers do this so if they get killed or captured in combat the enemy won’t take the tags and they’ll still be identified after. That’s what I’ve heard anyway lmao

Hey I’d like to do what your doing what’s the requirements and what you have to do to join and do the amazing job you do

[@nathanoikarinen]

Go to your local army recruiter and let them know you’re interested in joining as a 91b you need to take the asvab first but you don’t need to score high to get that job. 91B is a wheeled vehicle mechanic, I have more videos on it if you’re interested in that experience. Feel free to ask any questions.
