AERA congratulates those who have completed
the AERA Online Training Program
As of January 8, 2013, 269 people have enrolled in the AERA
Online Training Program for Cylinder Head and Engine
Machinist certificates. For a complete list of graduates, go to
www.aera.org/aera-university/certificates.
Cardea Blue (pictured), a Diesel Engineman 2nd Class in
the U.S. Navy, recently completed AERA’s online training
course. He has been serving on active
duty for about eight years and is cur-
rently stationed at at Naval Facilities
Engineering Command Public Works
Department in Naples, Italy.
“This association has higher lev-
els of mechanical knowledge and skill,”
said Blue. “The course emphasized
what I thought I knew and what I didn’t
about my job. I learned about safety
and hazard controls, mission principles, shop management
and more which was way more in depth than ‘A’ school.”
His passion for engines and racing started years ago as a
kid going to the drag strip with his dad. “Through a sequence
of fortunate events, I was always able to stay close to a
wrench and always given the opportunity to develop my skill
and passion no matter what life threw at me,” Blue said. “I
landed my first speed shop job at Rogue Racing out of
Orlando, Florida. Later, I worked for a small family-owned sal-
vage yard as a mechanic and a parts guy at Advanced Auto
Parts.”
Still hungry for more knowledge and wanting to further his
skills, he enlisted in the Navy. “I remember specifically telling
the recruiter that I wasn’t taking any job that didn’t DIRECTLY
have something to do with building and maintaining engines,”
he said. Are you an

continuing to improve his skills. “I have conducted several
