Got my AIRR contract and I leave in April. It's my dream to be stationed at Whidbey Island and work with such an elite group. That's how I first heard about Rescue Swimmers, since I live in Seattle.
I was stationed @ NASWI Sar for three years. It isnt anything like the Coast Guard mission as they mainly deal with maritme emergencies. They also fly the HH-65 in the Pac norwest, and it has very limited lifting capabilities. WHIDBEY SAR is the premier INLAND SAR command in the pacific northwest. The Navy operates about eight different inland sar stations throughout the United States.
I was at NAS Whidbey Island a couple years ago on a NSCC training for aviation maintenance on the Prowlers there. VERY cool place out in the Pacific Northwest.
I meant that there might be some interferences in their duties and responsibilities. And I didn't get the cut, you know? Where does the job of the navy start and the job of the coast guard end?
I don't make contracts for new sailors, only future rescue swimmers. I would have to say make sure that they have AIRR somewhere on there to determine this job field.
Correct. They do lots of overwater stuff but the Navy does all the same training and to the same level. These SAR units do that and focus on specializing in mountain and high altitude rescues, something the Coast Guard doesn't train for and is usually not equipped for. The Air Force also does a lot of overland rescue.
@brittyfighterpilot You have to want it in your heart before anything else. $25,000 sign-on bonus isn't going to get you through the school. The biggest problem I see in females in particular is the fact that you guys aren't as strong on your push-ups and pull-ups. Practice running every other day for roughly 30-40 minutes at an 8 minute mile pace.
@ndmaskell Why is that comment even directed at me. Also, under fire? AWR and AWS rescue crews will most likely NEVER see any combat or be under fire...? They can do anti piracy. Also with the equipment in Foxtrot Hotel and Romeo Helos it can basically fly itself.

these guys are freaking awesome!!!
For ARRS can you do both land and sea rescue
This unit is better then any of the USCG units nearby

arent corpsmen that are SAR Med techs doing the land rescues?
No, it’s the swimmers job to get the patient to the Corpsman to do their work
How many land rescues do they do to water rescues? I'd rather do 60% land rescues, 40% water, not the other way around. Great Video!

wheres brian casey? in that vid
So is this MOS avalible for officers?
Enlisted folks are aircrew & rescue swimmers… the officers are pilots or management. (Navy)
@tenshi413 Yes we are freaking awesome!!! I'm a ARSS instructor.

@wuschel28021991 you mean the coast guard are a bit like the navy.
Correct. They do lots of overwater stuff but the Navy does all the same training and to the same level.

Depends if they do want to go to school or take the benefits
@policeexplorer326 No, Officers are not rescue swimmers.
@zloyobar That's not what I meant I was just wondering how many of each type they do
