A GM in the U.S. Navy is a Gunner's Mate, one of the oldest rates in the Navy, being one of the original 3 rates created in 1797. Boatswain's Mate and (BM) and Master-at Arms (MA) were the other 2.
The GM rate is primarily aboard surface vessels and shore stations. Aboard ship, they're responsible for anything to do with naval guns and missile systems, as well as small arms. Many are skilled armorers and gunsmiths as well, and maintain the Navy's small arms ammunition depots as well as run their Weapons Qualifications Ranges.
Bottom line - if you like to shoot and handle weapons but don't like getting shot at, this is the rate.
