WHAT IS A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A RESCUES SWIMMER LIKE? AIRR is a challenging and rewarding career in the US Navy. Many people attempt this search and rescue school but find out that helicopter rescue is not for them. It's more than just saving lives and our motto so others may live. It's about challenging yourself weather that be through flying, ground jobs, writing a flight schedule, and working with other units.

Yes I’ve been waiting 7 years for this
+Relentless_Animal what did you think? What stood out to you in the video?
@@TheRescueSwimmer I did not u airr uses guns
Jeff Jorgensen. Good evening Jeff. Can this rating be selected prior to recruit training or is it after basic?
Got an 82 on the asvab.. and i qualify for this job.. and ngl, this job looks sick as fuck
My son just got accepted into the Navy. He leave for RTC in July. This is the job he wants and is aiming for. I will have to show him this video!
Senior in high school right now. Just went to MEPs and qualified. Ive been working my ass off these few months trying to get a contract.
Jeff, awesome stuff about Rescue Swimmers. Keep it up, Breh!
From a former F/A-18C/E Electrician
Excellent Video Brother!!!❤💪 THANK YOU!! Sharing!! Best ive seen for EXACTLY What it is!!!
Getting in shape and thinking a lot about the military seen one of these pamphlets at the gym never heard of it thanks for the info 👍
Great video keep it up
Former sar. Thank you brotha. Oooh rah!
AYEEEE!!! Go Jeff!
Great quality
Thanks brother. Trying to keep it up
Thank you so much for this. There’s such a vague understanding of AIRR throughout even the spec war training community I’m working with before I ship. It would help if you could explain the pipeline as well. Love your vids, such an underrated youtuber.
So I’m looking into this career myself, you can find the pipeline on the airr job page at the usnavy.com
@@MrMojo-rp1in I’m finishing up this pipeline next month man, hit me up with any questions you got
@@jaykedolan4663 Thats awesome. I'm jealous lol. I'm only 16 so I have a while to go but my biggest question is how hard is it. Is it as challenging looking as coast guard rescue swimmer school or does it seem a little easier. I'm getting in good shape years in advance for this and dedicating a lot of time to the water.
@@MrMojo-rp1in it’s a lot more running than you’d think, and it’s not super physically challenging, more mentally... you have to be able to deal with bullshit. Coast guard swimmer is definitely harder
@@jaykedolan4663 Thanks for filling me in. I love running so I’ll just make them longer runs
I had 2 saves. Was glad I did it, but I decided not to pursue rescue and fire fighting once I was out. The thing that turned me off of it was the attempted suicide of a navy dependent visiting a ship in Alameda NAS. It was hard to hit a woman to get her managed. I was a fresh civilian at the time taking someone else to see her husband on the boat since I had a car. I never wanted to be in that position again. Too much drama for me. She got hauled off to the mental ward.
I never thought about it until my wife was cleaning my desk and looked at my DD-214 and asked about it.
About to take my PST and hopefully get a contract! How often are you guys doing swim workout or workouts in General? Is working out apart of your workday?
Great question. We do pool training on a regular basis. Gotta stay proficient in swimming for sure! Working is part of our daily schedule, so win there!
Thanks for making this video ! Its really good , also this is what I want to do I'm trying to get my contract right now
Good luck brother. I got mine and leave in about 15 days.
@@brandoncliff5653 thanks bro and good luck to you
Good luck and congrats Brandon.
Hey jeff what squadron are you in cause i saw in this video you where stationed at north Island
What should you study the most in ASVAB studies to get this job. I’m a small guy but a good swimmer but I’m kinda bad at tests
Can you be stationed at any base as an airr? Or is it just US
I picked up my contract and I’m excited to go!
congrats if you know do you still go on aircraft carriers for deployment?
@@jadagibson4774 did u find out
99.9% of the time in a fleet squadron...vs. station SAR...Rescue swimmer days are pretty much the same now as 20-years ago. Collateral duties and the flight schedule. We used to PT/swim 4-days per week in the AM if not otherwise scheduled for something else. What isn’t clear to many, being a rescue swimmer is just an additional skill-set that you must remain proficient in...Not to diminish anything about being a swimmer, it’s relatively minor job compared to your day-to-day work...And, that can be frankly a lot of busy work and BS. That’s just the nature of the military.
Sadly.
Dope. Dub life!
I’m in A school right now for FC but if I reenlist I want to attempt becoming a rescue swimmer
Would it be good preparation for AIRR school If I trained by splitting the minimum PST qualifications in half.
Good question, I would say that the PST should be a cake walk. A PST in my book is a warmup for my workout. Mins should be very easy to do.
Hey Jeff, I am currently thinking about the Navy and I am super interested in doing AIRR, however a problem I have run into is that I have asthma but it is only viral induced meaning it only effects me when I am sick. I haven’t really talked to a recruiter about this, but do you think that I could still go by and if not is there any solutions?
Awesome question, I unfortunately can’t answer that question. What I will tell you, is that the Navy has to make their own medical assessment of you. They don’t go to your doctor or doctors.
Awesome, thank you
Can just anybody sign up or do you need certain things
Can you transfer to a civilian job with this experience
How is this better than the coast guard rescue swimmer team?
nide edit!
Do the PRs get shout out for dealing with junior AWs lol
Doing my psts now. Quick question for anyone who can answer. Is it beneficial to learn the CSS, or should I just focus on freestyle swimming?
I also am doing this. Way i see it, can't hurt to train both. But I have been mainly focusing on freestyle
If your doing AIRR I would personally recommend freestyle. You won’t use CSS at all in ARSS
Hey Jeff , do you have to swim the PST in freestyle for Navy SAR? I've been hearing you can do it using CCS, freestyle or breaststroke.
When I had to do the pst I was told I could only do freestyle... not sure if it differs
@@micahmalala7432 that's what my recruiter told me. But the AIRR pamphlet says breast or CCS.. I guess I'll find out when it comes down to it lol
+Anthony DeBenedictis let’s put it this way. If you get a better score doing CSS, then free, the training is going to be very hard for you. Freestyle should be easier for you, and if done correctly, you should be able to smoke anyone CSS. In training all you will do is freestyle. Hope this helps. Are you better at CSS than Freestyle?
@@TheRescueSwimmer CCS is easier for longer distances for me. But recently I've been focusing on freestyle. Just trying to find the right breathing technique to help. I get winded after 100yds
Jeffrey I have three questions for you. One- what is the difference to being assigned to land versus vessel? Second- Can you take prescription meds once in. Third-Living in the barracks can you eat healthy and clean with the food provided for you?
Kind of but not really. Two types of squadrons on the S side. Expeditionary and carrier, both deploy to ships. But expeditionary can go land based and does a lot.
As for the other two questions, it all depends on the mediations. When you live in the barracks you can eat healthy because the galley has all the food for you. You just have to eat the right stuff in the proper amount.
Not trying to start a fuss... who's the best swimmer...rescue swimmer or USAF pararescue ? I would go with pararescue...not saying I'm right...USAF Retired flat belly MSgt...24 years. O....I wasn't pararescue...and I'm not saying I could have been a rescue swimmer... I would probably not made it thru either program.. I did keep a flat belly... though.
Do you have to be a us citizen to be a Rescue Swimmer or green card holder can do that too?
I know this video is old but I have a question. I have glasses and am wondering if you are aloud to wear contacts. I have 20/20 vision with glasses and about 20/65 without.
If you get fully accepted and pass training they give you corrective eye surgery for free.
So a schedule in a day is SAR and the next day could be is tactics and with collateral duty or collateral duty could be the next day ? So it just depends on the schedule what you get ?
Yep that sounds about right. the flight schedule will dictate what you do. What do you think would be the hardest part of that?
Jeff Jorgensen Nothing at all Just trying to figure out more information about the career but this video says it all thank you very much and your service really appreciate it.
Are you AWS or AWR? And is there a better one or are they both pretty similar/great jobs?
that's all in the eyes of the beholder. I'm biased toward AWS, because I fly in Sierras. They do similar jobs to a degree, AWS rates get all the station SAR billets. The big difference is when it comes to tactics. Hope this helps
Would you recommend his rate to a girl? I’m just curious because this shit seems fun asf but I’m hella small though 😭
And does this rate require a high clearance?
Yo! I am currently working on training for an AIRR contract, I’m only 5’1 so I feel you on being small asf haha but if you set your mind to it then you can really do it, I’m the only girl in the group of training but I use it as motivation to wanting to do better :)
+See_The Sea_With_Me if you can hack it yeah. It’s up to you honestly. There are great female swimmers. Is does require a security clearance.
Hey Jeff, question: what are some jobs you've heard of people getting after leaving the Navy and the AIRR community? any info would be helpful. Great videos keep them coming and thanks for your service
Great question! So just to name a few from people I know who have gotten out.
-Civilian SAR
-FBI HRT
-writing flight schedules for major airports
-Pilot
What ship were you with during Tomadachi ?
+Luiz Uribe USNS Bridge. We were the only MH-60S platform in the area at the time right after the tsunami.
Do you guys do any HALO or HAHO?
Great question Nick, unfortunately we do not to HAHO or HALO. If you were ever in the predicament to do those, it would be quite hard to get back into the helicopter. Awesome question though.
Is this navy search and rescue corpsman?
Thank you so much. When do we go to sniper school?
Great question, but unfortunately no we don’t go to sniper school.
Who were the guys at 2:00 ?
How much combat do rescue swimmers usually see?
Almost none until we go to war. We dont deal in low intensity conflicts on conventional warfare.
What’s daily schedule when you’re not deployed? Like what time do you work and what time do you go home? How many days off do you get?
It changes so much it’s hard to have a normal day. I wish there was an easy answer.
Can I go to Naval Academy and then do this or no?
No this is an enlisted job
Is this separate from the aw rate?
Good question but there are different AW rates that aren’t swimmers. AWS and AWR’s are rescue swimmer AW’s.
Are swimming trunks your regular outfit on the job?
+Boujee Kei great question, not swim trunks. UDT’s are part of your SAR gear though.
Oh man.. I thought it was. The swimming trunks took me off of picking AiRR rating. Lol I told my recruiter just yesterday I might do Sar corpsman. Have you ever worked with them?
Hey Jeff is there a marine rescue swimmer unit
there is no marine rescue swimmer unit, however I know marines have gone through ARSS.
Do you get to choose between AWR and AWS?
Yes and no. It all depends on many factors. My while grad class got AWS.
whats AWR and AWS
Why you guys shooting guns? Do you only shoot only from copter?
Ame trying to crossrate been in about a year in how can I crossrate in two more years
Talk you you’re command career councilor (CCC). They would be your best resource for this type of information. It’s a process but it can be done.
Jeff Jorgensen talked too some ps in my command they said I can try and ia billet and they can get me set up and the earlier I start it can definitely be done for aircrew being already aviation and they’re gonna set me up with a metting with my ccc when she’s back from leave
Is the rescue swimmer position available to females?
Yes
Chula Vista?
Si!
1:39 and 1:50 look like weigh different hights
+ace coldblooded a little bit, those two cuts where two different flights.
@@TheRescueSwimmer how many rescue missions have you been on just wondering because i plan on joining next year
Do you get firearms training or are needed to use firearms?
Great question. Yes you do. Personal firearms as well as crew served weapons (machine guns)
do airr swimmers get to use the guns on the side of the helicopter?
Can officers do this
No, unfortunately they cannot.
A day in the life? More like a year+ in the life
Coast guard rescue swimmer vs this?
I did a great video on this not to long ago with some CG guys. Check it out on my page.
Is 31 to old to be a AIRR?
Yes
Is AIRR a MOS?
AWS and AWR are the naval rates. Rates = MOS in the Navy
wait who are the dudes shooting and stuff like that
