MMA - Machinist's Mate, Non-Nuclear, Submarine Auxiliary
Some say the heart of a submarine is in the reactor, others say it’s a Machinist’s Mate Auxiliary. As an MMA, your mechanical skills allow you to work on every part of the sub. As a member of “A-Gang,” you’ll maintain all the systems that make a submarine habitable, from keeping the oxygen and drinking water flowing, to making sure the lights and heat stay on. From hydraulics, to high-pressure air systems to the mechanics of the diesel engines, you’ll keep the boat’s mechanics running while your crew stays mission-ready at undisclosed depths.
