You lucky son of a....sailor. This was one job I really wanted and with my last name being Weathers, it would be quite Ironic. My Line scores were two points away and couldn't get it. I have done a bunch of research on it prior to MEPS and you have a great job!!

Does anyone have any information on an aerographer? Besides what on basic websites?

All of my research was done via Google. http://usmilitary.about.com/od/enlistedjob1/a/ag.htm was just one site on many, you can also check out Navygirl.org as well as current "AG" Facebook Pages.

My son has only ever done the meteorology side of the rating - never the oceanography part.

Hmm thanks! It's just I've read all of that stuff but I've always heard different things.

No problem. Being a smaller rating is what he really likes about being one. That plus the fact that the AG's have to let you know whether things are good to go with whatever is planned and if the weather conditions aren't good/desirable, they will be the ones that tell you it's a no-go.
