I went through NACCS in summer of 1990. Then went on to AO "A" school in Millington, TN. Then from there went to VP-30 in Jax. Then after being class honorman I got first pick and chose Brunswick, ME where I flew as an Inflight Ordnanceman on the P-3C Orion. Served from 1990-1995. Great job for those interested in flying 👍
Being at NACCS is awesome. It's stressful but absolutely the most elite school on the base and you're treated a lot different from the others.
Why, my son is in training now? Why they treat you different?
Thanks for touching key points without the whole video being an hour long!
This is fucking sick man, thanks for taking the time to provide this knowledge to others. Best of luck in your career🤙
I’m at Aircrew school rn. Would love a video on SERE... at least what can be discussed. That’s my next phase. Also I’m a dry candidate
Went to SERE in January count your blessings shippy
What dry rates are there for Aircrew do you fly in helos just as much as rescue swimmers? And was it hard to get your contract
@@bradleycutter8293 getting the contract wasn’t hard, just availability and do good on your asvab. Dry rates are AWO/V/F and EWO. Wet rates or rescue swimmers are AWR/S. If your dry you’ll be on fixed wings unless you get lucky and you get offered a dry AWS rate where you’ll be in helos with the rescue swimmers. My class got a couple offered but I didn’t want them.
@@mikeyskates97 lol so I’ve heard
I can tell you a bit about it👀 publicly, I will say this; there’s a reason we sign all those papers waiving our rights away to keep our mouths shut.. what happens In SERE should stay in SERE…SERE differs a lot though depending on your MOS. If you’re doing AWS, since it’s considered SPECWAR, it’s tough as fuck. You WILL get hurt for real and you WILL be traumatized after everything whether or not you make it through😂😂there’s a limited amount of information you’re allowed to give out to capturers like MOS, Name, and the branch of military you’re in. I know a friend went through SERE and she’s the most bad dads woman you will never meet🤣 she was the only woman to make it through SERE 2017 and she came out with a broken rib and fingers. a little traumatized too from some of the shit they did to her, which we can’t talk about 🤐
I’m going in later this year as an AWO, glad to see this video to give a bit of info on what it’s like appreciate it!
How’d it go?? I ship out for AWF next month!
I went through it in 2002. So much fun
I went through AW "A" school in Millington, TN from Dec 1972 through April 1973. Cold as hell there in the winter... There was no formal Aircrew school at the time. Water survival was part of "A" school. AW was the only rating guaranteed to fly after "A" school. Anyone wanting to become a flight engineer, Inflight tech or ordnanceman had to be an E-5 to apply to become an airewman. I didn't learn what platform I was going to fly in until I graduated from "A" school. I received orders to FASO / VP-30 in Patuxent River, MD and reported in early May 1973. I was assigned to the acoustic operator side on starting FASO. I then trained on the P-3C with VP-30 at Pax River until August 1973 when I reported to VP-5 in Jacksonville, FL. They were flying the P-3A when I first arrived but transitioned to the P-3C about 3 months afterwards. I didn't go through SERE school or ride the helo dunker until I transferred as an AW1 to the west coast in 1981. I retired as an AWCS in 1998 from VP-46 at Whidbey Island. I was a VP acoustic operator my entire career.
Ship on New Year’s Eve aircrew on the usmc side absolutely stoked
How'd it go
@@miltonaulmond2705 I’m also curious
I was a dry crewman, I received my Tom Cruise starter kit on completion of aircrew school and a c-130t loaaster. I served 9/6/2002 to 8/31/2006 before I was medically discharged from a tbi. I got a $6,000 bonus and after taxes I got $4,500 and I didn't get it until I completed all of my schools.and I was at my squadron VR-54.
just signed my AIRC contract today and ship in 19 days. surreal
Best Channel For AIRR Pipelining would recommend anyone who needs info on the career 10/10
Thanks, I'm glad the information helps. I always wish I had a channel like this going through.
Got and AIRR contract recently! Shipping August 17th
Awesome! Good luck.
Before you start NACCS your gonna be in backlog doing cleaning bills for about 2-4 months depending on if your wet or dry, dry guys tend to class up faster. I’m in aircrew school right now it’s not to bad
During these 2-4 months, do i have access to training facilities?
backlog depends on a lot of different factors, however it's always a strong possibility.
I thought you couldn't choose whether you're wet or dry
@@christianmichaels6834 nah you can, you have to pass a PST and get to a rescue swimmer contract, which anybody can do as long as you bring it up with your recruiter, the only way you can get a dry contract is if it’s available, either way any rate in aircrew is pretty solid
@@prestonmeek58 So what If you don't do the rescue swimmer thing?
ship in sept for AIRC!
“I think they’re still around” 😭I’m shipping out in a month for AWF
Will I get a bonus if I’m a fleet returnee? I’m about to go to school this October and just wanna say thank you for your videos it’s been life-changing
Does family come with you at FRS or is it really 2 years aways from them?
When your an airr rescue swimmer are you just a swimmer or do you do way more then that ?
Way... way more.
What’s sea shore rotation like? 6 years on , 4 off? I’ve heard lots of different things
The link below has the sea shore rotation. This all depends on if you take a OCONUS station or not also.

Hey man! Love your videos! I messaged you on Instagram and would love to hear back from you
I’m 35yr my recruiter said that I’m too old to become a Rescue Swimmer, but I’m in TIP TOP SHAPE! I looked up all the requirements I need to become a rescue swimmer then I cranked up my workouts to cater those requirements. I even took a 8 weeks course from a Rescue Swimmer to build up specific muscles to qualify. With that being said, my recruiter STILL said I’m too old. I refuse to accept that, can you please guide me and tell me what do I HAVE to do to become a Rescue Swimmer?
Where can I find a pair of fins that are very similar to the ones rescue swimmers use?
i got mine off amazon
there are two but they not cheap but here they are

amzn.to/3h966el
Jeff Jorgensen thanks for the input
Ship nov 2 can’t wait for this job
Good luck! I’m on the DEP, training and getting ready for my PST so I can get my contract.
Tea Mistro thank you and good luck to you
NACCS sucks I just graduated it Thursday
Kam Horton how long was it?
DoctorMidnight are you doing rescue or regular aircrew?
What pst scores do u recommend having going into rss
Be able to get at least 60-70 push-ups, max out your plank, and a 10 minute mile and a half at least. At naccs you’ll do sit-ups in lie of planks so be able to get like 60
How would I become a door gunner
Is there another medical physical needed to join other than the one in MEPS?
That would be a great question to ask your recruiter. Once your in you need a flight physical yearly.
Is there a dry option. I have seen that floating around the internet.is this a thing?
yes
I’m trying my ass off to get this rate at MEPS. Does anyone know how rare it is if it’s even rare at that? I’m willing to play the waiting game. My ASVAB is 89 and I can already get good PT scores. Any advice helps.
It depends on weather the billets for Aircrew are available. If Aircrew is what you want then you stick with that. Also remember there is selective reserve and FTS (full time support.) You will not be a Rescue swimmer if you select to contract as those but you can still go Aircrew. You will be an AWF assigned to either C-40A or C-130H. Make sure your recruiter is explaining those to you and you know your options! If you need any help or have any questions you can def hit me up!
I signed for AIRC-ATF. I was looking at it the night before, the Chief I spoke to told me "Good luck, cuz I can already tell you that ain't happening". So judging from his response, I'm guessing it's not a common job. Another dude I went to Meps with signed as a rescue swimmer. It's hit or miss.
I asked for AW, they told me is a physically demanding rate and you'll have to wait 6mo to ship... so I waited the 6mo.
I heard you go to Rescue Swimmer School first now. They swapped them around??
Not at all true
@@benhepler7943 You think so??
I got here in February and they put me in RSS first. I’m going through class right now but my roommate who got here in May who is also rescue swimmer candidate is going through NACCS first
@@adamcollett25 That kinda makes sense. Contracted for AIRR leaving to Boot in Aug. How's it going for you so far??
coolkris341 I have shin splints and underwaters suck also I’m really slow in the water. I would say focus on your form and do ladders starting at 25m, 50, 75, 100 then go back down and just do sets of that. It’s a mental game my dude.
Do u have to go-to sere to be helicopter air crewman?
I'm omw to boot for AW. It says in the folder they gave me that aircrew personnel are high risk of capture, so most likely yes. SERE school is required
Yes, all active duty Aircrew, Rescue swimmer or not will attend SERE.
The new AWR rating card says NACCS is now 11 weeks and RSS is going to be 7 weeks? Is this true?
haven't heard anything different unless there is something online that the navy put out recently.
Well if it ain’t my old sar instructor
Can airr change rate and try out for say eod?
I'm not in the military but I doubt it, they already put in all that time into training you i doubt they'd send you through another long pipeline
They send the rescue swimmer guys to bud/s. It’s called cross rating. Obviously you cannot crossrate after a certain time I believe. The higher the rank the more difficult it is to crossrate. But a somewhat new AWS2 could crossrate into EOD. It’s 2 years in rate before you can crossrate
Do you get a choice between romeo or sierra?
TBH not really.
No, you will get whatever billet is open. The instructors at NACCS and RSS really don't have any control over that.
@@tylersmith8083 Unless you're the son of a Commander, then you'll be the only one in hundreds, if not thousands to get AWS(Dry)... like a guy named Broderick(2013).
I leave for basic aug 8th I got aircrew rate
Congrats, best of luck to you
Please do the next one on RSS, I leave July 13 and they just recently changed pipeline to bootcamp,RSS, than NAACS
Working it now. Stay tuned.
July 13 here too!
Also July 13 haha
They still do the spin and puke.
Adept
Are there chicks in the pool with ya sipping on some brewskies??
Whoah 25k for HM-ATF.... I shouldn’t have re-enlisted hahha
I wish lol.
The spin and puke is still a thing
Good to know 🤘
