Navy AIR Rescue (AIRR)| Wartime & Peacetime Operations

- I breakdown the Navy AIRR job and the wartime and Peacetime element to the job. No 2 crewman will have the same experience(s), but it doesn’t mean they won’t have overlaps within the community. There is a short history lesson regarding the aviation rescue swimmer. Aviation rescue swimmers have come a long way in such a short amount of time. We have done quite literally every job you can do from a helicopter.

aircrew class 8243 . back then you became a swimmer depending on your class standing after "A" school. I remember my master chief telling me since I was going to an H-2 squadron, I would have to go to rescue swimmer school. I looked at the Master chief and asked " what the f_ _ _ is a rescue swimmer?" He laughed and told me " You'll find out." While trying to hold back his laughter. I had the pilots lower me on the hoist into the Caribbean chasing after a mail bag. I guess you can count that as a rescue.
Former AW2, HSL-84, Coronado and HCS-5 Firehawks. Rescue Swimmer class #90180. Great to hear we are still around. July 89 until November 1998. Fly Navy!
First and foremost , young man I am proud of you and what you have accomplished and what you are doing now. I myself had been part of naval aviation for some 21 plus years and I truly understand what you are now doing. Fly Navy brother !
MY brother! Good putting things out to let people know what we do!
Someone’s gotta do it. 😏
I respect the Rescue swimmer crews. My dad was a P3 / S3 aircrewman from 1977-2001. Iv been an AW since 2004 and retire AUG2024. Im not a SAR guy but those dudes are legit. I skydive for fun recreationally and have 170 skydives and 1 cutaway. I hope you SAR guys do get to start jumping like you mentioned. That would be sick and probably attract more recruits.
Thanks bud. Fellow AW I see. Enjoy retirement. I remember the S-3. I was supposed to be a dry crewman initially and go to VP-30 in Jax.
LOL...That 53E is a MONSTER. I love that bird. I too ret. 21yrs (4 USMC 17 ARMY)of service. Was 0481(Landing Support Specialist) in the Marines. Static/ sling loads was our specialty. And night Ops was the BEST.
Welcome to the dark side. Bitter sweet relationship with night flights.
Really enjoyed this one. Your videos are always super informative. Thanks so much for pumping this content out. Looking forward to following this series.
You’re welcome and glad you could get something out of it.
great video, looking forward to the rest
Im joining to try to be an air rescue crewman in august. I go to meps tomorrow. Thank you for this video sir
You’re welcome
Shoutout to AOC (NAC/AW/SW) ALLEN. a real og! Special shout out to Master Chief Hilligas too another og. They the real mvps. Love the videos. Bring back some memories for sure.
Great video would like to see more navy Airr content🔥
Is there anything I can do to prepare for the pipeline? I want to join but I wanna know what I can do to improve my chances
I've been watching your videos since I enlisted last month. It's helped leaps and bounds towards knowing exactly what I'm getting myself into. I do have a question, I unwittingly signed an AIRC contract despite vehemently expressing I wanted to pursue AIRR. My question is do they allow you to switch rates depending on how you qualify in NACCS. I was told that dry aircrewman are limited to AWF, or AWO. Thank you again for the great content you do.
I’m glad I could help you out. Sometimes, they’ll let you jump ship, but that’s not always the case. Ask your instructors. You enlisted? Where are you now then?
Can you make a video about search and rescue medical technician (SMT)
Will do
Hey Darien! I’ve been following along with your content and as a Navy prospect have a few questions myself. I’m trying to decide on the contract I’d like to sign and have a strong interest in Navy aviation. The AWR/AWS rate looks interesting but I’ve also been looking into AD and AT/AE because they deal with the mechanical/electrical aspect of aircrafts which I think would look good post-service for a career in contracting. However, the AIRR contract looks like so much fun. Is there a lot of technical training pertaining to the mechanical aspects of your platform? Or in other words, as an AWR/AWS do you also get to work on your helo or is that where the line is drawn and that work is passed on to the techs? Sorry for the long paragraph, just haven’t been able to get much information online other than Reddit. I guess my “dream” rate would be one that is both technical and adventurous. Thank you in advance!
Hey. I’m glad you are able to enjoy the videos. I’ll try to tell you that nothing is stopping you from working on the helo, as a helper, but not as a regular job description. If you know that you want to do that type of work, then do that. AIRR is more exciting and adventurous, but not the only thing you may find enjoying. I’ll try to make a quick video on this topic soon.
@@PhDarien Thank you man, a video would be great!
Signed for Air Crew and in DEP program, have about 6 months to prepare. What would you suggest as far as physical training.
Aircrew only or AIRR? 6 months is plenty of time. Just start swimming and working on your crawl, side stroke, breast stroke and back stroke. Get good at running if you aren’t already and everything else will fall in line. Get comfortable doing water survival-type exercises. Swim with old clothes to simulate a flight suit and see how it is.
Hey Darien! Would you happen to know anything about the SRT program? I’ve been doing a lot of research as I’m enlisted right now and in DEP. I’m currently going for an AIRR contract. I was wondering what your experiences were like and if any air rescue swimmers were able to get into the program. There isn’t too much information on the program so anything would help! Thanks
I’ll put that in the other parts, but I am familiar with it. Not too much, but a good friend of mine is currently at SRT-1 out here in Virginia Beach. He’s an AWS as well
@@PhDarienI appreciate it man. Great video too!
