Ps…I could never get my head around it being a navy base, but had planes, not ships. It’s a gorgeous place to visit btw, if anyone is interested in going.
I'm a VERY PROUD mom of an RSS! I'm still a tad "dumb" on some terms. Is this Romeo or Sierra? I like to be well-informed when sharing videos. This is an incredible video and I'm so thankful you made it! I just wan't sure since there's no "R" or "S" behind the helo name. Due to seeing land/sea when shooting I am guessing Romeo?? You're a hero and we pray for our military all the time! Thank you for everything you do!
@@logannorthern2804 that was almost 3 years ago when I asked that. I’ve learned a lot the last 3 1/2 years. But thank you. And Romeos do far more than “just hunt subs”. 💙
Diver or any spec war is tough. I’m trying to earn my EOD contract at the moment. When I swore in I chose AIRC, you are required to pick a backup when going through the warrior challenge program. when picking my backup I asked for a job that would be one of the most physically demanding. Both are great!
@@patriotsatny Yes Im in Nas Pensacola Aircrew its a lot different from the civilian life. Ive made lots of great friends but a lot of running and swimming training, being well disiplined and we have lots of fun things to do on base!
@@patriotsatny When you graduate you will be given a rate, AWF AWS AWO AWR etc. If youre Air Rescue (which requires more swim training and more schooling) you will most likely see ships time to time. Basic Aircrewman like myself may end up working with planes and if im lucky helios and we most likely never see a ship.
AWR - Aircrewman Romeo, AWS - Aircrewman Sierra. You can google what each rating specifically does. Generally, Sierra's are considered more "badass" with what they do.
Cookie Crumbs if you’re aircrew you’re part of an aviation squadron. You’ll do deployments on ship but squadrons are all land based. You’ll only live on board when deployed
Jesus R. Perez Navy for anywhere in the world to go rescue our troops or any American citizen outside the motherland. Coast guard for any inside mission inside the motherland!
I agree as a rescue swimmer (8215) and Utility aircrewman (8216) my rescues were all overseas in open water miles and miles from any land. Jumped out many times and then moved up to the crewchief position and ran the hoist and controlled the swimmer insertions. Fun both ways
The last comment. That was like 25 feet lol. I had a crewchief say clear for forward flight and jumped from like 25 feet 20knots I think I skipped when I got the water lol
Great video. You guys are my neighbors. I see you fly by Dugualla Bay headed east all the time. You guys do great work. Would love to be a mouse in the corner on one of your missions.
iDealNinja my asvab score was 82% and i qualified and signed a contract for this job yesterday. i think you have to have a pretty outstanding score to qualify.
I took a AN(PACT) contract yesterday and was wondering if anyone had experience with that contract or knew anyone that did and made there way to air crewman. I wanted air crewman out of the gate but there were none available!
