The Navy describes the Aviation Support Equipment Technician (AS) rating as the Sailors who operate and maintain all ground support equipment needed to fly an aircraft, inspecting, testing and repairing generators, motors, hydraulic and pneumatic equipment and gasoline and diesel engines. Civilian employers call this heavy and industrial equipment repair, which is why mobile heavy equipment mechanics and equipment repairers lead this page's matches.

A note from the founder

I served on active duty in the U.S. Air Force from 2001 to 2009 as a 2W0 Munitions Systems specialist and a C-130 Loadmaster. I served in the Air Force, not the Navy, so this page is built from O*NET and BLS data rather than my own memories. The problem is the same in every branch: your experience is valuable, and it has to be written in the civilian employer's language.
