God, look at those boots so shiny. So many memories. I graduated from NACCS a little over 10 years ago and it was some of the best training I ever did. Loved NAS Pensacola. Semper Fi
There are five types of aircrew rates, AWF (mechanical), AWO (systems operator), AWR (SAR/rescue swimmer), AWS (helicopter), AWV (technician). A second class swim test and a PFA score of GOOD is required to pass AW candidate school.
+Erick Espinosa just went through a few months ago. pt was not too hard just me able to pass a PFA with a score of GOOD. most people get dropped from the swimming portion. be able to swim well and be comfortable taking water up the nose without freaking out. maybe practice swimming with clothes, if you can, because a lot of people can tread just fine but then as soon as they put on a flight suit and boots they sink like a rock.
I’m going in as AIRC. Ship out to bootcamp in 15 days. Any advice? Also, do you get any opportunities or offers like to be a Rescue swimmer if you join as an aircrewman? Or are you set as aircrewman all the way? Also, is there anyway to make sure you get a helicopter rating? Not a fixed wing or UAV?
how’s it going? i just signed an airc contract. now do YOU have any advice? how do they decide what rates like aws, awr, awo, awf? do you like it? i’m excited sorry for the questions 😂
They are crewmembers on the aircraft. Enlisted personnel not naval officers. There are 2 contracts AIRR and AIRC basically one group becomes Aviation rescue swimmers (AIRR) and the rest become regular fliers.
I'll be one of those guys getting orders to Aviation Rescue Swimmer School sometime this fall/winter :D So excited!

I had petty officer L as well. Awesome example of what a Naval Aircrewman should be. I kinda miss NACCS.
Graduated NACCS in 1980. Our classes were much bigger.
1986 for me
Hooyah I'm in class 1534 right now
Too bad they cant put the flags in the correct order.
Petty officer Lawson recognize his voice haha great guy
Yes he was. He was EXTREWELY in shape, and did some brutal PT haha!
Class 9133 here... We didn't get any certificate that I can remember when I went through... I was an AW(Acoustic) VP-45...
Holy crap, since when do they have graduation ceremonies indoor?
Wheatley GLADOS you serve?
do they do it outdoors?
Erick Espinosa I graduated there last year, and all the graduation ceremonies were outside. Maybe it's the weather?
Wheatley GLADOS I want to go there. Any tips? On physical or academic side? I don't want to be put on the needs of the Navy (got an airman pact)

I guess it’s a little late to tell you, but airr is a contract
@@ember7885 ^ I’m in NACCS as a rescue swimmer and yes, once your air crewman it’s too late to get a contract
how’s it going? i just signed an airc contract. now do YOU have any advice? how do they decide what rates like aws, awr, awo, awf? do you like it? i’m excited sorry for the questions 😂
That is the indoc classroom to me and it looks very different now.

Well? How’d you like it?
Do you need perfect color vision to be a part of an Aircrew?
Aidan McWhirter yes
Myles Media F U C K
Myles Media but why
@@aidanmcwhirter2612 dumb question pick something else.
Patrick Reilly Explain. Why is it a dumb question. Why would I need perfect color vision to work on an aircrew.
What does the air crew do? Do they get to fly jet planes?
