Are you aware that in 1974 an
association was formed by aviation boatswain's mates in order to
collectively identify, and develop corrective action to the problems
that plague our people, our equipment, and aviation safety?
We have been extra-ordinarily
successful in providing numerous improvements in the areas of aircraft
launch and recovery, refueling, aircraft handling and in fire fighting
procedures.
The Aviation Boatswain's Mates
Association continues to have an annual symposium where old
friendships can be renewed, and new friendships formed, but most
importantly they are an excellent forum for problem resolution. The
symposium "workshops" are professionally oriented and are attended by
shipboard fleet and shore based personnel along with system command
level technical specialist, in-service engineering agents, and
manpower management directors.
Workshop results are then forwarded to the office of the Chief of Naval Operations for review and future correction. No other group enjoys this "avenue to the top brass" as does the AB community. We would stand proud to include you among our ranks for more information on the ABMA please contact one of our officers, regional vice presidents or any member.
