AG Rating Question
Hi everyone! I just swore in for the first time (yay!) last Thursday. I was able to get the rate of AG (Aerographer's Mate) which is great as I had been wanting this rate in the first place. Now I know it's a relatively small field to be in but was wondering if anyone had any more insight (other than the general descriptions of what the rate entails) on the AG rating. I have heard several conflicting things such as AG's aren't actually stationed on ships these days, as well as duty sites are limited. Any information/advice would be great! Thank you!

It sounds like more than likely you will be stationed on shore at a major base somewhere and you may even be sent to work with the AF and CG I'm assuming it is a very small rating, so advancement may be very competitive so do everything you can to EP and pass your tests to advance

My son has been an AG for 5 years now and will run this by him as to how accurate your info is. He's deploying again later in the year so I've got time to clarify things.

Future Navy Sailor Aerographer's Mate Gallardo Jr. here!~ ^_^
I'm really excited about my new future job!~ I would also like to learn more about Aerographer's Mates and opportunities to travel: I love the sound of MET teams: how does one go about volunteering for those sorts of things after RTC and A School?~
