USCG BM A School Class 07-17

[@garrettvoorhees6334]

Great Video. My family would like to thank you for this great snapshot of what BM A School is all about. Our son was one of your classmates and while is is far away from family I feel when ever I watch this that I'm with him.

[@sharonkay8559]

Love the song, love the video! Both are really well done!

[@kayceecoty2608]

Originally I think I wanted to be an ME, but I’ve actually decided to be a BM, 1. Because of the long wait list to get into ME school, but also BM’s appear to be law enforcement, search and rescue, etc. They just seem more versatile.

[@Adventuregirl96]

One of the benefits of BM's is they are very versatile. Because of this they are involved in everything including SAR and Law enforcement.

[@alexecheverria8971]

Anyone know if MEs are given priority over BMs for DSP units like MSRT and such?

[@kayceecoty2608]

Alex Echeverria I’ve got no idea. I think it probably depends on the individual applicant but then again I have don’t know for sure

[@tysenp8193]

@@alexecheverria8971 pretty sure they just fill the positions as needed.

[@JM-nl9ow]

@@alexecheverria8971 There are more billets for MEs in these units....They also have BMs and MKs but there are more spots for MEs.

I was striking BM on a 210 before they had a school in 72. I got transferred to an air station just before being designated. I had to go to engineman school in Yorktown to get off the air station. Ended up in the engine room of a 378. How ironic BM school is in Yorktown? As soon as the video started I knew that was Yorktown by the bridge and Battlefield trails.

BM school has come a long way since I saw it in the 80's. Great job, Semper Paratus !

[@jacarter79]

I'm guessing the 41' was the platform then?

[@girlsrockurboyz]

good luck boats. my dad was a wwII uscg bm1. my brother retired a bm cwo3. I chose to be an ET.

[@jacarter79]

This is my next duty station. C-School instructor at the RBS-29 school.

[@CountryStrong_94]

Semper Paratus! Always ready!

[@johnperez9828]

I can’t wait to join the bm !!!

[@lucastantanella]

Gotta get through basic first then depending on if your active or reserve it can be months to years waiting time.

[@tysenp8193]

@@GracieTurts right now it’s 6-9 months

[@GracieTurts]

Thanks

[@Snowcat89onXbox360]

Wow! USCG BM A school includes pretty much everything from Navy Aircrew Candidate School, some from Aviation Rescue Swimmer school, and then even more! Very impressive!

[@LDyagami]

Snowcat89 how is navy bm school like

[@captsgdiver879]

You just barely scratched the surface of BM A School.

[@bruinsrule1151]

captsgdiver I am 14 and thinking of being a BM in the coast guard, do you think that it is a worthwhile experience

BM A-School 05-11

[@williamavila1073]

Guys one question how many seconds you have to be underwater to pass the BM A school ??

[@michaelfox9431]

What cool coasties

[@michaelfox9431]

Jonathan Millender no im in this video though haha

[@garrettmiller9200]

So do you get to go to BM A school right after boot camp or is there a waiting list? I really am interested in becoming a BM and hopefully stationed somewheres in Florida. I also want to be on an msrt unit or taclet or something of that sort.

[@Ksaleh10]

6-9 month wait

[@stponyt]

Can't wait! I'm still deciding between BM and ME

[@johnathanjacobs766]

The Virtual Astronot ME is closed

[@DivePlane13]

Johnathan Jacobs i know. Making me rethink going CG. How long is it closed for?

[@DivePlane13]

Lourdes T. It's closed for 4 fucking years? Man. You're killin me.

[@DivePlane13]

Lourdes T. Yeah that's true. It's really tempting to just go Navy for the gauranteed job. But actually helping people out and doing boardings sounds awesome. RIP

[@tyrekscriven8568]

Im joing in a couple months and wanted to go BM good to know its a good job

[@seadoggiedog]

What? What the hell happened to striking,please tell me you can still strike BM?

[@TimeLessTavernMD]

seadoggiedog The striking program is completely gone, you can no longer strike rates unfortunately.

[@Lost.but.found126]

Brett Krafft what is striking

[@carlosguillen5540]

@@Lost.but.found126 it was on the job training and you got your rate that way. You completed your skills and practicals under the supervision of your Officers and Ncos.
