MR - Machinery Repairman
It’s a fact of life that, eventually, all things break down. Thankfully, the Navy trains its own force of skilled Machinery Repairmen—and they do way more than just fix machines. These Sailors are responsible for fabricating every variety of bolt, screw, nail and other parts required for repairs and maintenance, along with a range of other tools and equipment used to keep the ship in top shape. If you’re looking for hands-on work and you’re not afraid of a little math, this is one of the most rewarding careers you’ll find.
