Choosing MK over BM in the Coast Guard

I interview my friend Jeremy (d00ditsjeremy) who is a Machinery Technician (MK) 2nd class in the Coast Guard. Jeremy talks about what made him choose MK over BM, what to expect if you want to be an MK for 4 vs 20 years, and how you can go from not knowing anything to knowing how to build an engine from the bottom up. Timestamps: 2:12 What is your story in joining the Coast Guard? 3:15 What made you decide to wait 2 years before going MK? 5:17 What made you choose MK over BM? 6:31 What will a 4 year career in the Coast Guard as an MK look like? 8:49 What will a full 20 year career as an MK look like? 10:36 What is better, going MK or going to a civilian trade school if you want to open an mechanic shop or get technical experience? d00ditsjemery:   / d00ditsjeremy      / d00ditsjeremy   https://linktr.ee/d00ditsjeremy RESOURCES: Step 1.
