Goliath112,

So you want to be an AMDO, huh? I'm a Marine Powerline mech/PC, same as AD in the Navy, which is where I went to school in Pensacola.

A funny story that I heard from other mechs. Remember, it never happened, okay?

(wink, wink) Here how it goes:

A new powerline mech just graduated from school checked into his first squadron in Iwakuni, Japan. As part of his "indoctrination", someone from the shop told him to go to Maintenance Control and tell them this:"Tell them the AMO is all f***ed up and we need a new one". The guy, not knowing what AMO was, of course, (probably thought it's part of the AMAD), went to Control and tell them that. Control was like,"Say what?" The guy repeated the same thing and Control went,"Uh...son, that's QA's gripe, you've got to go to QA."

So the guy went to QA and said,"Uh, sir. The AMO is all f***ed up and we need a new one." The AMO, who was sitting at QA at that time, exploded,"WHAT THE F.................

Thought that was a funny story involving an AMO. BTW, I personally was told to "feather" the VENs on launch not long ago. Good luck on your commission.

alot of times people know they are being screwed with. But, when a Chief says GO LOOK FOR one you can't really say anything.

Hey Goliath, when I was a firefighter in the Air Force, my first day at the firehouse they had me push starting a chain-saw, I was 18 years old and they got a good laugh. They use that roll of flightline in the AF also. Good Luck on AMDO, Go ERAU EXTENDED CAMPUS!
