- When you need to move high-priority cargo from Point A to Point B-and Point B is miles out to sea, steaming at 30 knots-you call in a Naval Aircrewman Mechanical. As in-flight personnel, AWFs maintain and troubleshoot aircraft while carefully handling million-dollar equipment on board. Perform everything from medical evacuations to small arms transports to delivering necessities to your fellow Sailors on deployment. You’ll even act as our eyes and ears in the sky, mapping coasts and ports for Navy intelligence. If you feel more at home above the sea than on it, this is the job for you.

Finally the COD guys are getting some recognition.
Im impressed on how many exciting careers the US navy has
Good luck getting any of them! 😂
@@treroney4720Not difficult if you have some brains and drive. My son went aircrew and then rescue swimmer. He’s loving it… gonna re-up in a year.
Going AWF rate here soon! 3 years of Aviation Mechanic under my belt already.

Wow!, que grandioso equipo
This looks and sounds like something i would be interested in doing joining the Navy at 32-33 mechanical naval operations
Doesn’t make sense to me but if you go AW there’s a lot of physical requirements. Don’t give up it’s real easy but you should consider going FTS full time support if you don’t wanna get deployed so often
That’s a p8.. not a p3
They need to update this video, C2s are about gone the CMV22b is about it😭😂
Almost done with NACCS, hopefully get assigned AWF
Just know how to be an expert swimmer and super comfortable in the water as you'll have to do a lot of training in Pensacola such as; a mile swim in a flight suit within a certain time limit (which I believe is 32 laps in an olympic sized pool), parachute dragger, parachute disentanglement, helo dunker, drownproofing, tread water for 5 minutes in full flight gear, obstacle courses, pushups, situps, running etc.
I was surprised by how many people signed up to be a U.S. Naval Aircrewman that could not swim (which if that's the case you'll fail & become a ground pounder).
Randomly came across this video so if you don’t mind me asking what is a ground pounder although I think I got a idea
@@d.williams6804 So if you're an enlisted sailor in the Navy there are aviation field jobs that are performed 100% on land or a ship and there are ones where it is a combination of getting in the aircraft and actually flying while on non flying days you work on the ground. For example; I was an AO (Aviation Ordnanceman) and also a designated Naval Aircrewman (NAC) onboard Lockheed P-3C Orion's. So every day before going home for the day I have to check the posted flight schedule to see if I am flying. If my crew (combat aircrew 3) has a mission, I will preflight the airplane for my specific role including loading any weapons & sonobuoys and then get in the plane & fly the mission. But if I wasn't a NAC I would just show up to work at a normal time and do maintenance on bomb racks, sonobuoy chutes etc.
Another example is an AD (Aviation Machinest Mate). They work on aircraft engines. But if they are also a NAC they are assigned to a combat aircrew and serve as the planes Flight Engineer which is seated between the two pilots and he's the one that controls the engines, watches all the guages in the flight station, knows how much fuel we'll need, does the weight & balance sheet etc. On days not flying he'll wear working coveralls and probably be covered in grease from fixing/maintaining engines.
So if someone says something like "Oh, you were in VP-10? So was I. Were you aircrew or a ground pounder?" They're just asking if you were part of an aircrew where you actually fly or if you didn't have your Aircrew wings and just worked 100% of the time on the ground.
If in uniform you can easily notice if one has the golden aircrew wings above their ribbon bar on their upper left breast pocket to show that they are a Naval Aircrewman. BTW - flying & submarines are specialty fields that you have to volunteer for - they cannot force you to do either one.
Hope that made some type of senese.
Hello i’m a navy recruit and im thinking about changing my job to an AO have any advice?
@@cimonbridges2172 Are you waiting to go to boot camp? What rate are you supposed to be right now?
@@jackshittle Yes I ship out for boot camp June 24 ,2024 and i’m an enlisted sailor and E-1 the job have now is an EN
How do you get awf?
Tell your recruiter you would like to be an aircrew candidate. If you get that, everything else is sort of up to chance, man. Depends on what rates the Navy needs when you graduate candidate school. Those will be the ones available. AWF may not even be an option.
Man, I love C-2. I want to have this job and be aircrew on one of them, but now that they are gone (supposedly) I dont really trust the CMV-22B
There’s a C-130 community that does the same thing, except they don’t land on the boat. Bigger aircraft, more cargo/pax. It’s a pretty good gig if you can get into it.
You do know there are no AWF’s on P-8’s right? There were more interior shots of a P-8 than a C-2. Hahahaha
Nathan Gapinski that’s why he said P-3. And I know it showed a P-8. He didn’t edit the video it’s some civilian. Not a Aircrewman or MC.
what jobs allow you to work on p-8s?
@@adam-ip3xe AWO
@@tommysides8931 dude lol I did Bootcamp, graduated NACCS, and am now in AWO A-School all in the time it took for someone to respond to my question
@@adam-ip3xe lol I’m at VP-30 right now
VR-64 for life.
VR -54 and VR-55 here. Fleet logistics was pretty cool. 😎
I just want to join if I can be like that Top Gun dude.
Where do I sign?
What asvab score does this require???
I got a 52 and got the option. Hope that helps alittle 😅
@@miranda7608how’s your math ? i got a 77 on the asvab and hoping for CT rates or Aircrew
Is this rate in the navy reserves?
Yes, there are part-time opportunities available as an Aircrewman Mechanical.
If you are going Reservist as an Aircrewman, more than likely you will get AWF.
Can you pick this rate at meps
Possibly, you can work with your recruiter to do so.
No, you can pick aircrewman, but not the specific subrate (you pick the AW rate but whether you get F, O, V, or S is up to luck)
so i’m confused is this job like do i actually fly the plane or am i just on the plane
You’re on the plane, your domain is in the back with the cargo and passengers. These things are going away and getting replaced with the V-22.
Im confused why this video shows the inside of a P8 while the AWF's dont work in P8s....???lol
I feel like E-6Bs are not that popular
Stfu reyes
Don't pick this rate it's on the copping block
Wdym?
H uh
No
What Onion means is that C-2's are on coming off the fleet the MV-22 is replacing them
@@joshuathompson8821 can officer do this and how hard would it to pick it as a officer do they still have it and is it a good rate
Who makes these videos? The editing is terrible. Get it together.
Justin DeMatteo someone doesn’t like the Navy
Blendin Slanders I love the Navy. This editing is subpar though.
