I enlisted in the navy and choose to Machinery Repairmen (MRs) for my rating. It seems good and I felt confident to do the job because I qualified for it in the first place. I'm just worried because I know nothing about it beforehand. Will I be taught everything I need to know to become a MR? I know that nor every job is easy in the navy but is this particular rating hard? I'm looking forward to becoming a (MR). I really want to have a great career in the Navy and I want to be able to perform my job up to standards.
I've always thought MRs were the expert fixers and fabricators on the ship; really good at making things. It's a rating that requires lots of skill to it to make worse. If you like lathes, you're in luck. They'll teach you everything you need to know in A-school. It's a hard rating because it's an engineering rate, so lots of hard work associated with it. Advancement is easy up to second class, then impossible beyond that.
How many times are you going to ask this?
