More BM rating info stuff...

Is it just me or does this seem to be a very unpopular rate?

I know there is a more mundane side to this rate as well, painting, cleaning etc. but, I have read that along with everything BM's can also serve as coxswain, operating small craft, they can be Search and Rescure swimmers, and can serve on Flight Deck Crews for Helo Ops. That all sounds great to me, maybe I am being naive, do BM's actually do all of this?

Is it worth it go to MEPS and ask if BM is available, as opposed to "Most recruits who enlist under this option due so because the rating of choice is not available at the time of their enlistment"?
