How do you become AWS. Is there any way to know for sure that you will get that MOS? Anything you can do to best secure that position? How hard is the rescue swimmer route? What is the best way to prepare?
you’ll be given either AWR or AWS as a rescue swimmer . You can choose a favorite but it ultimately comes down to the detailer . we call it rescue runner school because you really just need to be able to run your ass off . If your trying to prepare id just get comfortable doing underwater exercises and running long distance / fast pace .
Zafar Cantine it’s recommended that you’re already a strong swimmer prior to joining. The instructors won’t be there the whole time(if you go in with little to no skill, they’ll probably kick you)
Yes, you need to be a strong swimmer before staring school. You also need to have a good aerobic capacity. I would suggest that use the ability to run three miles without stopping and a good standard. If you cannot make that run currently then start to build up until you can make farther distances without having to stop to rest or walk. You can build up to this standard. You can also begin by walking, fast walking and eventually running not sprinting just a continuous run. You can begin on a treadmill and work your way up but eventually transition to and outdoor run. Eventually match the seasonal conditions you will be working out in for school.
Congrats dawg I ship 9/16. I can’t find any decent info on aircrew (what to except just general information), is there any way I could hit u up ask u sum questions.
Hi on the royal navy aircrewman website it says "you will be streamed into a anti sub roll or commando" do I get a choice in what one or do they put me in any as I would rather be a commando. Thanks
To answer your question it will be based on your aptitude during training and whatever their needs are then your personal preference. ( this video is not RN its USN and the role its showing is called a swimmer
If you want to be aircrew you need to tell the recruiter that you want to be a rescue swimmer. You will need to complete and pass PST to get excepted into the program. The PST consist of a 500m swim freestyle then push ups sit ups and a 1.5 mile run. If you score well enough you will get excepted to the program and got to boot camp once that is completed you go to aircrew school after that you attend rescue swimmer school this is where you will become a AWS or AWR. This will determine later on what type of helicopter you will fly in. AWS flys in mh60s and AWR flys in a mh60r. Hope this helps let me know if you have anymore questions.
I miss it. Wish we had more than the old disposable cameras back then, would have liked to capture the memories.

Should I become a strong swimmer before going to AW school? Or will the instructors help out and work with us At first?

@@jeffreymoney3325 Excellent advice. If more boots followed it before enlisting, they'd find the training process so much easier.
Nice video!
do you stay on ship or on land?
Class 9133 NAVY aircrew!!! FTW!!!!
Congrats dawg I ship 9/16. I can’t find any decent info on aircrew (what to except just general information), is there any way I could hit u up ask u sum questions.
I would appreciate that if you can email me Aircrewinfo@gmail.com
I'm also in the same boat as Jay. Email would work, pretty much any info is appreciated.
Could anyone help me? Can't find anything really on Marine Corps aircrew. Is it the same as the Navy's. (same school)
Anthony D yes marine aircrew is the same as Navy's. you will go to Pensacola Fl and class up
Just go in knowing the unknown.
@@castaneda1108 Kinda feeling that way bro. It's super hard to find really credible info 😂.
Is this AWS or AIRR? Or combination of both MOS working together?
AWS
I totally honor the Helo Aircrewmen but you want a real job, check out the video "AW Tribute"

Do you do a lot as aircrew, like not just training
mpj 1780 yes there is a lot involved
aircrew what do you mostly do outside of training as a crewman. Thanks.
If your asvab score is high enough do you get to choose aw as your rate
Tevin Miles if it's open yes. That's the job I got
This is Isa Air Base
As an Aircrewman do you get wings/ a call sign?
Unova Official you get wings of gold
deltoro4 don't all people in the aviation fields get gold wings?
Unova Official no. Only enlisted aircrewmen get the gold aircrew wings. Other aviation rates, such as ABH, AE, Ect. Don't get the wings of gold.
What do you have to score on the asvab to become aircrew?
Marine Corps it's 110 on the GT and 80 on MM
Navy it's VE+MC+AS=158
Liam Richardson what is that 60
Was that a zombie skit at the end? XD
I am confused I know that i want to do aircrew and be on a SH-60B or SH-60R aircraft but i dont know what to do or what to ask the recruiter plz help
