These opinions are my own and do not represent the US Navy
Bro I learned so much by watching this I can’t thank you enough for your service
Going back up to MEPs soon and being a rescue swimmer is my first choice. I really hope I'm fit for it.
Best of luck to you. I hope you get what you want.
My dad was a U.S. Naval Rescue Swimmer. I want to follow his foot steps so thank you for making this. I learned a lot.
Very cool! It’s a small community that looks out for their own. I’m assume your father has good things to say about his time in. Do you know what airframe he flew in?
Id love to hear some of your craziest stories as a rescue swimmer
Another great video idea. Stay tuned, I'll do one soon with my other air rescue buddies.
Now I’m really interested in aviation rescue swimming
Nice channel. Good to see resources out there for potential SAR Dogs. Those weren’t around when I served in the role back in 94-97 at HS-4. I had very little idea of what I was getting myself into other than watching Top Gun. Best job in the Navy!
And thanks for the upload, there’s not many recent videos/info on the subject matter from former or active AW’s
No problem, I hope the information was helpful
To address the “combat” question, there is the UAS program that is direct support for NSW. But you have to be in the fleet for at least a couple tours and there’s a selection process.
Yes and no. UAS is out of rate, anyone from an aviation maintenance to a crewman can be a UAS operator. Sometimes they don’t even go out with the teams they are with. Again most UAS operators don’t ever see combat.
Hello, I don't think that you'll see this message since the video is old. I currently meet the standards, but just that. What score do you recommend for push-ups, pull-ups, swimming, and running? What is the minimum after meeting the standard that I should ship with?
Hey Jeff! I didn’t know where else to message you this but I’m glad to see ya come through again last night and it be a great crowd. If you have any more questions regarding how to grow your TH-cam - just hit me up and I’d definitely be glad to help :)
Great seeing you too. I will definitely hit you up. See you in two weeks!
This might be a silly question but do you have to have perfect vision to become a rescue swimmer? Because I’m pretty blind and wear glasses and as well contacts
Is the coast gaurd rescue swimmer path the same way training wise? Also can my wife live near me during A school and other training programs?
Hey jeff im deciding on wanting to pursue Navy DMT or aviation rescue swimmer school, im currently running all week, swimming 1000m 5-6 times a week, and doing 250+ push ups/50 pulls, 250 sit ups 3 times a week, while doing up to sets of 50 4 count flutter kicks in between some of those sets.
I still feel greatly underprepared though, I know that there will be certain evolutions that will be hard. I find it hard to practice fins & treading because all i have is a 4ft pool available to me, and its hard for me to swim freestyle consistently. I can swim a side stroke petty well though.
started practicing my underwater swims as well, was only able to swim a complete 25m underwater once, i think i had a mental plateau after that and only got around 20m after that. I dont have a specific question but when reading this. if you have any advice i would love to hear any!!!
Hey Jeff! Great Stuff here. I'm an ocean lifeguard getting ready for the summer season. Any suggestions on workout routines that you would recommend? Also, is there a manual you guys use that I could view? Would love to learn some rescue techniques as well. Stay safe!
Have fun back in the fleet
During the two years of training, are you able to move your spouse to where you are? Love your content!
Also wanting to know this
+Lift It within the first year no. So while they are in. Boot camp, aircrew school, AW A school and so no. But in the FRAC yes you can.
@@TheRescueSwimmer Hey there! I had this same question since I am a spouse to an air rescue swimmer who will be going to A-school soon. Do they get time off to come back home since their training is 2 years? Or will I have to make the trip there to visit my husband? Please let me know!
I earned the contract for air rescue swimmer in June and I leave for basic Aug 26 2019. I have been working out religiously since I depped in February. I want to be part of the team that does personnel extraction missions and also help State side when hurricanes hit the east coast. Is this even possible?
+Jacob Conn with Conn Hikes PR is a mission set that most squadrons do, it’s just opportunity. As far as hurricane relief, the recent one in Texas and hurricane Katrina both saw rescues by Navy Rescue Squadrons on the west and east coast.
Lol just got my contract for AIRR last week and am also leaving for basic on the 26th, good luck see you there
@ Jeff Jorgensen what is day in the the life of a airr/ sar member consist of? ( I was a volunteer fire fighter and we were not all ways running calls ... If we weren't running calls we were training, Cleaning the station , filling out call reports, or chilling at the station.
Could Airr/sar help me get a job as a emergency Management coordinater post Navy?
I've been training daily for the AIRR position but I am worried that in the 8+ weeks of bootcamp/processing we wont have a chance to do enough swimming/other core workouts to stay in SOF shape since all they do is march, pushups, situps, and pullups. Is this common?
And for those of us who have balanced plant-based diets and plenty vegetable nutrition and vitamins, is the unorganic cafeteria food in bootcamp / a school ever a problem?
Would super appreciate some advice on this as I'm going in this year..
What's up brother, I got my AIRR contract and I leave July 27th, the sad reality is that yes we will lose some of the endurance and strength that we've obtained during our training and during the pst's the navy's primary goal in bootcamp is to make us sailors first, the best thing we can do is capitalize during our dive mo sessions and give it everything we got, and also our two pt sessions, everyone is going to lose some strength but we'll gain it back once we're forced to go through the hell of RSS haha but that's what makes it fun dude we'll be pushed beyond what we think is capable of ourselves and we will come out stronger and as for the plant deit, I'd suggest not eating just plants during training cus quiet frankly I highly doubt the food they serve will have enough plant based foods to satisfy your appetite, best bet is to eat a well balanced meal of carbs and protein, and greens. Anyways good luck brother we're gunna need it 👍
Seth stearly I ship July 13th with my AIRR contract, pretty sure spec war is all going through bootcamp in a pipeline so seals diver AIRR swicc and eod are all going to be together for bootcamp doing extra workouts
Seth stearly but the two weeks of quarantine is going to fucking kill everyone because all we do apparently is sit in a hotel room with 2-3 other people and wait with the doors open while drill instructors watch us
What are some of the best ways to train for the physical aspects of the process of becoming a rescue swimmer
get yourself a mask, some fins and a snorkel. Get use to doing 25, 50 and 100 meter sprints in that with 30 seconds between treading water without your arms between intervals.
Let’s say I’m joining while in a relationship I might want to propose to her. When would be the right time to pop the question considering I still have to go to basic training along with everything else becoming a rescue swimmer?
That’s all up to you brother. I can’t speak to your relationship. However, if I were in your shoes, I would wait till I’m at least in the Rag.
I’m really considering doing this. Is AIRR a hard thing to get into like corpsmen even if you have the right asvab scores and pass physical requirements? Is it filled up like corpsman?
+John Rohrkaste corpsmen isn’t surprising to hard to get into, AIRR is way more difficult. Quotas to get go up and down depending on needs of the Navy.
Hello! So im shipping out july 13, I have my AIRR contract but the only thing is is that my front crawl is kinda bad, I have good form but after 50 meters or so I just get tired, my combat sidestroke is fine though, any advice?
Just curious what you think is more difficult. Aviation rescue swimmer school or surface rescue swimmer school? I know arss is considered a “special program” and you have to take PST’s and stuff to get selected but do you have to do that for surface rescue swimmer school?
Aviation for sure! Surface is still hard but aviation is by far harder than surface.
Hey! Thank you for the video! I want to be a rescue swimmer with all my heart the moment I heard it was a thing I was drawn to it! (Specifically a Coast Guard AST) I come from a sailing family and I want to be on the water for people like my dad who sails! Ive been doing a Murphy workout every day which consists of a mile run 100 pull-ups 200 pushups 300 squats ended with a mile run and I’ve cut my time down to 32 minutes.. but I feel like I haven’t gained the level of water confidence that I want so what do you advise? Advanced swim lessons? Pool membership? I’m 17 so I have some time to train like crazy.. also I’m only 5’10 and 170.. and I’ve pretty much been that way for 2 years will my height be a problem?
Judson that's awesome, Murph is a good workout! I would recommend AST for what you are looking into. As far as height is concerned if you're flying in the H-60. The shorter you are the more beneficial it is IMHO. I'm 6 ft and I'm hunched over in the cabin while flying. A pool is beneficial for working with swim technique and working with a mast fins and snorkel. You can still strength and condition using other means like i describe in my latest video I posted.
Hey! Quick question. What happens if you fail out of rescue swimmer school? Do you just go back to your unit? Also, are you being paid during rescue swimmer school? Thanks!
+Steve L yes you are getting paid while going through school. If you come in straight from boot camp and aren’t a cross rate sailor, then you get re rated within the needs of the Navy.
dude!! I saw your mount! I saw a brother from azeroth!!
Always and forever. Played since vanilla first came out.
same!! when ARCANE MAGES were OP with Arcane explosion! until they nerf it :(
If im already enlisted and rated can I still try out for AIRR? Or would I be limited to surface rescue?
Hey Mr. Jorgensen, I just enlisted the other day to become an aviation rescue swimmer. I was just wondering if there was any way I could contact you and pick your brain a little bit?
Hey man, you took us on a brutal run in SAR school and it sucked. Didn't appreciate that.
Hey brother! you made it through though didn't you? All part of the process.
@@TheRescueSwimmer yea, you're right. I needed to run more anyway. That program should be required for everyone in the navy. Imagine how hardcore the branch would be
Hi Jeff, I love what you're doing with the channel! I just swore in to the Navy and I'm currently trying to pick up a contract for AIRR. Where do you see most of the drops throughout the pipeline and why do you think they occur? Also, I'd love any book recommendations if you have them. Thanks!
Congrats brother! A high majority of DOR’s happen in ARSS. There is attrition along the way in all phases for many reasons. I will try and do a video here soon of book recommendations. I have a ton!
What if you have no experience in swimming at all but would like you try it out ? What would you recommend ? Try different career to not to hurt yourself or to give it a shot ?
+Jonathan Marrinez if your not comfortable in the water don’t. It never hurts to start learning. I knew someone who nearly knew how to swim, and after some time training in the pool, made it through.
Just did '16 mile bay swim at 0430 then did a base perimeter run blind folded . Where were you
Daniel Clisham The sunshine state... beautiful! 😂
I am very comfortable in the water I surf and have been swimming since a young age not on team but more because of the connection I have with the water I have been fully training for a month now and feel great I swim 1500 feet every other day and run everyday with waits in book bag for resistance and I do intervals sometimes I won’t use the book bag and I will use the training mask for my cardiovascular system because all in all I want to keep my lungs in shape I also surf which is a plus but I’m around 215 but I perform as if I’m lighter I don’t know how but maybe it’s because of the drive that I have mentally and physically I always wanted to become a rescue swimmer whether it’s for the navy so after a couple years there I could become a navy seal engineer or medic or go into the coast guard and live life to the fullest but my fear is they gonna say I’m a bit heavy are their exceptions if you perform well at your weight.
Nice! Keep motivated, stay hungry, and train safe.
Intro is clean!!!
+David Justin thanks brother! I’m thinking of changing it here soon, what do you think?
Between S and R which one flies more.. that’s all I really care about
There really isn't a clear answer on this one. Both fly a decent amount. There are a lot of factors not specific to just Romeo's or Sierra's. but by the end of your first sea tour, you should accumulate at least 1000 hours.
I’m new to all this so I wondering do you get paid during all the training after basic’s.
From the moment you get to boot camp you get paid
How often do Rescue Swimmers go to Afghanistan or Iraq etc...Or is it the percentage of going is at least 9% 50% or just RARELY go other than special forces that do go 100% of the time ?
I was cleary asking what the physical fitness requirements are for (SRSS - Surface Rescue Swimmer ? What type of equipment will be useing if we manly deal with Snorkel & Fins or will we be useing the Draggerlar 5, SCUBA - Self Contained Breathing Apparatus & UBA - Underwater Breathing Apparatus as well ?
No SCUBA is required for AIRR. If you would ever even need SCUBA (which you never will, due to dive tables and flight restrictions after diving) for air rescue SAR, your going to be diving for a body. There are a lot of physical requirements to complete SRSS, so much, it would take me 10 page paper to spell out for during the course. The in-test requires are pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, 1.5 mile run and 400 meter swim all for time.
Great Video. Thank you.
thanks brother! Hope to come out with more cool stuff here in Guam
Is being a rescue swimmer an mos you choose at meps or also thing you can join once in the navy?
I signed a contract for Aircrewmen, and I qualify for AIRR but I have dual citizenship and I’m not able to get a contract until I renounce my other citizenship,I’m 17 currently and I’m wondering if I ship out to boot camp and I turn 18 and I renounce the citizenship could I potentially transfer to AIRR even do o ship out as Aircrewmen?
Great question. It’s easier to get into the Rate before you join. Talk to your recruiter, and see what he can do. Just don’t try to do it after you enter basic. Hope this help.
Appreciate your time and effort into your videos! ABH2 here at whidbey island seeking and hoping to convert to AWS. In the process of building my package, but the only thing holding me back imo is my age at 34. Waiver? Thank you for your upload!
+Don Manansala noice brother! I’m glad they can help. I don’t know the age cut off for crossrate, check the MILPERSMANS for the age limits and waivers. Also check NPC to see current meaning and transfer opportunities. Also make sure your detailer will be willing to release you.
How about people who are prior service? I was Army Infantry and am looking at this as a possibility next career path. Do you see a lot of prior service in the job or going through the training? Are they even giving out AIRR contracts to prior service?
+Will Myers I honestly couldn’t tell you now. You would have to talk to a recruiter but I don’t see why not. I’ve only personally known 1 prior Army guy.
Jeff Jorgensen Great, I appreciate the reply.
I plan on meeting with a recruiter around the middle of October to talk about a contract for aviation rescue swimmer. I was wondering if I meet the physical requirements how long would it take to ship out. My buddy told me he was enlisted for 6 months before he got sent out to bootcamp and then to aviation rescue swimmer training. I was wondering if I already meet requirements how fast could I ship. I am hoping to be able to leave around December or January. Thank you so much!
In the navy, are rescue swimmers also emts and aviation survival technicians like coast gaurd rescue swimmers?
great questions, unfortunately no they are not. They get basic EMR.
Say someone wants to be an air rescue swimmer but they aren't physically fit yet. Can they work towards adequate physical fitness for the job in basic training and then see if they meet the requirements, or do they have to meet the minimum before basic?
What I mean is I really want to be an Air Rescue Swimmer for the Navy, but I know I don't yet meet the requirements physically and I'm going to MEPS next week. Is there still hope for me, or should I set my sights elsewhere?
Keep the hard work up, and you can whats called crossrate when you get in. I would highly advise against that because once your in it is way harder even if you are in great shape. I know people that crush the PST and still don't get into the community because there current job wont let them go.
I have a question! You said that a lot of people drop out of the program: what's the number one reason for people dropping out of the program?
+V Gaming there really isn’t a number one reason to be honest. But if I where to say anything it would be water comfortability in the water, with a mask fins and snorkel.
Thanks for your video. I have a question or two and will message you via FACEBOOK and LinkedIN
If your a surface rescue swimmer can you still fly after that duty is done?
Thanks
Surface rescue swimmers don't hold a job that flys in the navy
How long do you have to be in the fleet before you can be an instructor?
What happens if you don’t make it through school? Do you have to pick another rate?
Yes you will have to pick another rate depending on needs of the Navy at that point
Whos a better swimmer in your opinion. A navy seal, coast guard rescue swimmer or a pj??
Honestly, it all depends on the person and the stroke.
@@TheRescueSwimmer damn haha dosnt exactly scratch my curiosity but thx for the response. Just assumed rescue swimmers sense all you do i assume is kick water
During A -school will they teach you some of the basics in swim, such as swimming with full face mask with snorkel and fins? And if not would you have free time to learn it yourself? Or would you have to be prepared before going to basic?
Don’t go in with a blank slate in the mask fins and snorkel. It could be your undoing.
Where are the duty stations for AIRR’s?
Most go to San Diego, Norfolk, Jacksonville Guam or Japan for their first tour. After your first sea tour there are a lot more places you can go.
Jeff Jorgensen awesome, thanks for the info!
If someone goal is to eventually be a seal would you recommend for them to first start off as an aviation swimmer than go to bud/s training after first tour?
+joshua chavez777 if they want to go SO, go SO first. It’s harder after the fact
Hey Jeff , would being a rescue swimmer help give me experience to become an emergency Management coordinator post Navy.
Jacob Conn with Conn Hikes honestly, I don’t know about that one but Potentially.
Hello, my son is very interested in becoming a Navy Rescue Swimmer. Who should he talk to in the Navy? I know recruiters can steer prospective recruits toward rates that need billets filled. Thanks, Boats.
Hey Boats! Your best bet is honestly talking to a recruiter with him. If they offer him something else, he has no obligation to accept it. I don't know if things have changed, but they normally want offer anything unless he goes to MEPS. At the recruiters they will only tell him what he is potentially eligible for. Hope this helps.
I enlisted for the navy already and i am going to bootcamp in 3 days, I qualify for every job including nuke. I enlisted for an AV and my recruiter told me I should finish A school before I try to go to AIRR school so Incase I drop out I go back to AV. I wanna know if it actually does work like that. Also what else can I do to get ready and make myself look more valuable to them
There is not absolute that if you join as an AV you will be able to go AIRR. It’s harder to crossrate while your in that before you come in. However if you do go AIRR before you get in, and up don’t make it, you go need sthe the Navy.
What would you say is the best way to prepare for swimmer school, and just getting into the rate in general
Aviation Rescue Swimmers*
And what kind of contract would it be
+SnapShot_ Paintball the best way is to enlist through a Navy recruiter. It would be called a wet aircrewman technically. AWS and AWR as rates.
What is the age cut off for this job and can you booked this job with out knowing how to swim ?
+Andre Mathews Aviation look at the Navy.mil website or talk to a recruiter for agr cutoffs. You need to pass a PST which includes a timed swim. So, yes you need to know how to swim essentially.
How hard are the lap tracers in the ARSS program?
Is it possible to get into Aviation Rescue Swimmer if your currently in the navy as another rate?
Awesome question, and yes! Talk to your Command Career Counselor (CCC) at your command. You will have to submit a package, your CCC will help you with that. Check out this website out www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/Pages/default.aspx a lot of great resources for the cross rate process.
Also love the picture of potato chip rock. That’s a fun hike!
Jeff Jorgensen awesome thank you man, and heck yeah it is potato chip is one of my favorite hikes!
What score do you need on the Asvab to become an AIRR
Meet the minimum Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) score: VE+AR+MK+MC=210 or VE+AR+MK+AS=210 www.navy.com/careers/aviation-rescue-swimmer
4-years of shore duty?
What if you wear glasses How will you be a rescue swimmer if you can’t see without glasses? Besides eye surgery.
It all depends on your eye sight, and how bad it really is.
I am going into the navy as AIRR but my main goal is to be a SEAL is changing my rate possible from one job to the other when I am in?
You can but it is easier to join the Navy with a contract of what you intend to do. Crossrating after the fact is much harder, however it is still possible. If your goal is SO, go SO.
Jeff Jorgensen That was the original plan but the only issue with that was my asvab score, it was 6 points off so I was just seeing if that was still possible
What test score do you need to get to be considered
What happens if someone doesn’t make the pipeline for AIRR
They go whats called needs of the Navy. Basically you get to pick from what the Navy needs at that moment in time. It could be a CS (Navy Cook) BM.
I’m I disqualified because I wear glasses because ill fix them if need be being apart of search and rescue is my dream
+vandieselcuuuz nope, your eyes just have to be correctable to 20/20. I believe the upper limit is 20/200 each eye without glasses. Don’t fix them before you get in because that could disqualify you. They will fix them after your training on the Navy dime 🤘👍.
Jeff Jorgensen your the man thank you for such a quick response didn’t expect hat so I went diving for a comment similar to mine hahaha
I won’t be one of the dropouts this is my dream and I’ll do everything it takes
Will I get disqualified for being 5 foot tall?
tell the peoples about Fukushima.
that would be a good one. How you doing brother?
After coast guard boot camp what’s the next step into becoming a rescue swimmer ?
I wish I could help you there but i can't. I'm a US Navy Rescue Swimmer.
after boot camp what was your next step? My dad was in the navy for 5 years so I’m def thinking between coast guard and navy!
Luke Griffith thank you!!
Can I wear contacts and be a aviation rescue swimmer?
There are requirements for eye sight. I wore glasses and contacts as a rescue swimmer
Can you pick AWF or AWO at Meps
Nope. The needs of the fleet are filled as classes graduate A school
Do SAR med techs get any rescues or do they stay in the helicopter, contemplating which route to go
Great question! I have a buddy SMT who got a Rescue up in Washington while the helo hovered under a bridge. Search helo bridge rescue in TH-cam, and it will come up. He’s the guy on the wire.
Jeff Jorgensen awesome thanks for the response, and do aviation rescue swimmers get any medical training?
Yes we do. Most of the time, we are the only person able to sustain life until we get them to further care.
Were you an S or R? Also, which HSC is more combat oriented as far as SAR goes?
I’m still an Active S. As far as combat goes, I would say S but I’m bias.
@@TheRescueSwimmerJorgensen good to know. currently, I'm in A school with an S contract. looking forward to getting to FRS in a few weeks!
@@pat.martii I'll be enlisting for AIRR later this year, wondering if in bootcamp you had enough chances to stay in shape besides the normal pushups/runs/situps. I'm guessing not much swim or other core training? Is nutrition a problem in A school like can you find enough leafy greens or vegetable matter or do they just serve you normal carbs & protein mostly?
Garrett A-Wei Lu In bootcamp, you’ll have DiveMo pretty much every morning once you get to your permanent ship. There, you’ll do a lot of swimming, running, and calisthenics. Plus they normally have a pull-up bar in your barracks for whenever y’all wanna use it. As for when you get to A School, the galley almost always has a good amount of greens and salad stuff to eat; plus you can go shopping off base to get what you want since you’ll have a fridge and microwave in your barracks there(unfortunately, they don’t have appliances when you’re at NACCS)
@@pat.martii thanks man! I'm excited. If you can get food off base, they don't let you cook on base? Or is there communal cooking area? Also, you posted this a year ago.. How did your pipeline go? Are you still in C school?
What's the average age of a sailor who enters training to become an ARRS? Is 26 too old? What's the oldest person you've seen on missions?
A guy I graduated ARSS with was 31.
Can you live with spouse and kid during the pipeline?
Can I become a navy seal through this program
No, you would have to crossrate which can be hard
Is there more of a demand for S's or R's?
Fortnite gamer Both are in high demand. There aren’t enough students who make it through to replace the ones getting out.
This was the best news to read all I want to do in life is be apart of search and rescue military or civilian
What if I wear glasses
as long as you are correctable up to 20/20. I think the cut off is 20/200 but i'm not 100 percent certain on that. If wear glasses and make it through training, you can get lasik for free!
Jeff Jorgensen disregard my comment I just found this answer :3
Workouts?
I’m in the process of creating a course now for workouts. Stay tuned!
Can you be surface rescue swimmer and aviation rescue swimmer
You can old both quals essentially at the same time. However once you'r in aviation you don't go down to surface. I don't know anyone who has.
Thanks for the reply I am kinda interested in joining the military and this job looks very cool
+Ryan Hengemuhle if you make it through the training there is currently a $36,000 bonus. Can’t beat that right!
Very cool I still have 2 years to figure out what I want to do
+Ryan Hengemuhle awesome! If you have any questions please feel free to post in the comment section on any of my videos! Stay thirsty!
How realistically would a woman be able to do this?
+Cheyenne Smith that’s a great question. It all depends on the person. Being a woman or a man doesn’t change the dynamic. It’s all how wel you prepare and how mentally tough you are.
Anyone interested in rescue swimming, please remember that in 1988 Instructors where KILLING (i.e drowning) candidates that they deemed not worthy. Please fully research every aspect of any Naval position you might be interested in. Everything after that is a piece of cake
Just keep it real, them guys a good , but there are not combat rescue and the are not SOF, and the likely they will be in combat are HIGHLY unlikely, and thats fine. Navy hypes everything up, its ridiculous. Otherwise, very informative video.
Yep all true, did two other videos talking about that.
