Currently a brand new Marine, about to go to MCT and I have an Aircrew contract, does anyone know if the pipeline is similar for the Marines?

Can you do a a video on the equipment in the aircraft, particularly the contents of the medical pack Canadian Armed Forces search rescue technician so it be addressed to see where US colleagues carry

Just graduated boot camp on my way to Pensacola. Wondering how hard the PT is and if we get time to prepare. I found out I was going to be AIRR super late in boot camp. I don’t have a great 1.5 mile run (10:20) and haven’t been in the water enough in a couple months. And if I’m able to have time to drop some weight to help with pull-ups and push-ups

Purple were fuel guys , green were ground support , red for weapon , yellow for the suppky , white for admin those wee used to be old navy color flight deck shirt colors

Son has past pst and now is getting ready, there’s a prep school in Virginia how does someone in the navy get the assignment to attend that school prior to attending surface rescues swimmer school in San Diego.

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?

Excellent Video Brother!!!❤💪 THANK YOU!! Sharing!! Best ive seen for EXACTLY What it is!!!

Adept

It was snowing heavily. She made the wrong turn. In my opinion it was NOT suicide. Who would want to take their life COLD and WET ?!

Maybe I haven't found it yet, but is there a video on swim technique? Like proper everyday vs. rescue technique? If I recall, as a lifeguard, we were taught to never put your head in the water maintain solid eye contact on the victim, but no one ever talked about what that looked like for efficiency. Do you have a video on that or could you talk about that a little?

Does family come with you at FRS or is it really 2 years aways from them?

I wanna see a video from you doing rabbit peak and villager peak 🙏

Why no c2c2c? 🤷‍♀️

I went to millington TN when AW A school was there

Is there an re-enlistment bonus for rescue swimmers? Got my AIRR contract yesterday

I think i could done this job easily at sevrnteen.i wish wed known about it.

I wondered why the rescue swimmer didn't pull the guy out of the basket before the copter sank? But now I'm guessing he assumed the hoist was sheared?

Is the initial test the same for males and females? I’m busting my ass to get to 42 push-ups so I just want to make sure I’m not doing it for nothing 🫠

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?

Are there requirements on what camo or color you have to wear?

I'm hoping to pass the try out requirements but the pushups are so difficult to get. Do you guys have any tips? I think i can push back my BMT ship day though so that will help to get me the time i need, as a girl. I dont think ive ever wanted something this bad in my life.

Goat fr😈😈

I have pretty bad vision, worse than the uncorrected standard. However, they are correctable to 20/20. Am I likely to get a waiver for that? Physically and test wise im good, eyes are my main concern.

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

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.

Has it ever been adopted asan official Navy emblem? This didn’t exist in 1982. Each coast had their own unofficial logo(patch).

Please talk about sere school

Can you break down the length of FRAC for each of the subclasses (i.e. AWS, AWR, AWO, etc.)? All info says 6-32 weeks depending on what aircraft you’re on. I’ve talked to three recruiters so far and none of them know anything. I want to go for AWS via Reserves.

I realized in a pool many years ago, that if I jst relaxed and enjoyed myself I could hold my breath for a very long time. It's definitely a mental thing.

I’m 5”3 100 pounds soaking wet, probably not the best idea anyways 💔

Wish I knew about this as a child, I would’ve never smoked weed thru 16-20.. ruined my lungs, could I do breathing exercises to make them stronger again ?

Are the A-school test really hard?

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the loss of tail rotor de-icer grounds to terminate the rescue due to safety? I am not a pilot, but common sense dictates that if there's a problem with your tail rotor, send out a pan alert and land at the nearest safe point BEFORE you get to the Mayday stage. The crew were in contact with their base who could have directed them to a safe landing point. To me, not a democracy, the chopper had become unserviceable; take it back to base and go up in a serviceable chopper.

Welcome back! Been missing ya.

Dude love it... Practicing right now to hike it

I love that they tax your tax payer funded check😂

Fun fact, not all who pass through that school are in the Navy. Some are CIVMARS from the Military Sealift Command.

Hold up the intro hard

are the crye pants navair approved?

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!!!

Remember the first top gun movie....I flew rubber dog shit outta cargo plane...C-130 load master. Yes the training is hard and you also got to train with the Marines. And when you're sleeping at night you have muscles at cramp up in your body that you never thought existed after swimming all day and running all day and doing pull-ups and push-ups all day. You get paid to work out and then you go fly and you get flight pay and it's awesome and when you get out the Navy you can get a great job working with airplanes at a commercial airport and I got kicked in the face during the Helo dunker me what a black guy goes cuz somebody panicked and kick me in the face with their boot. You had to stay calm during his training in the water if you panic in the water you will not be successful.

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.

Great video, very educational.

new sub here ...SAR Class 92030 San Diego...92'...Hoo Yaa

More of jsut curiosity rather than an actual concern, but how high octane is the job for 90% of the people who become AIRR

It's a...movie! Not meant to be accurate, only meant to tell a...story. Ya Snowflakes seem to believe everything outta Hollywood is based on a true story.

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!

It’s a fun hike, I enjoyed your unique presentation.

just signed my AIRC contract today and ship in 19 days. surreal

Hey just a question for ya Jeff. I'm about to take my PST to qualify for AIRR but I'm just trying to figure out what jobs I would be qualified for after my contract.
