Navy Aviation Rescue Swimmers - Land Rescue

[sajewell]

@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.

[policeexplorer326]

What would be the role of an Aviation Officer during all of this? Do they get to rescue too?

[sajewell]

@policeexplorer326 No, Officers are not rescue swimmers.

[ndmaskell]

@sajewell Officers are the pilots. They have to be really good pilots to hold it steady, especially under fire.

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!

[zloyobar]

@bilsy28 Then this is not the job for you....." It's any mission,anytime ! "

Not trying to be a smartelic or the like it's just that's the way it is.

[bilsy28]

@zloyobar That's not what I meant I was just wondering how many of each type they do

[Studman2011]

@bilsy28 you dont get to choose if you want to rescue more on land or on sea. when someone calls you help them. but i would guess that navy aviation would have more calls on land (depends where you get stationed) and i would guess coast guard would get alot more water calls. but without a doubt coast guard gets way more calls then navy does

[doqq]

Whats the cutoff age for AIRRs?

[darien811]

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.

[21ROYIK21]

what are the vision requirements?

[tenshi413]

these guys are freaking awesome!!!

[darien811]

@tenshi413 Yes we are freaking awesome!!! I'm a ARSS instructor.

[brittyfighterpilot]

hey what should i do to get ready for this im a girl by the way

[darien811]

@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.

[brittyfighterpilot]

alright thx and being a lifeguard would that be worth it to do?

[brandonberg1]

@darien811 hey my name is BrandonT Landenberg. wanting to join AIRR this june in the delay entry program. what should i have on my contract?

[knpdyeballarice]

@brandonberg1 you need to have your signature on the contract haha

[brittyfighterpilot]

which one is better coast guard or navy???

[kblackav8or]

This unit is better then any of the USCG units nearby

[Worthdubya]

Coast Rescue Swimmers are very good at what they do. NAS Whidbey SAR are incredibily good at what they do, in the area, there isn't anybody better to call. Specifically for mountain rescues. Again, the Coast Gaurd station at Port Angelas, are incredible guys they primarily take care of the coast line. The training the Whidbey guys do are hard to beat.

[Captus15]

Oh no! know they put that orange color?? wtf looks horrible

[Worthdubya]

It is a SAR Rescue helo, there is a purpose for having the orange paint. Just stating the obvious.

[Captus15]

Was joking, who branch you choice like favorite, navy SAR, or USCG SAR? and why?

[cashiam]

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.

[MuleshoeJournal]

Way to go, Brandon, Muleshoe's #1 helio pilot!!!!!

[wuschel28021991]

Must be a great job. a bit like a coust gard, isn't it??

[gear114]

I think coast guard is just in the United States and the Navy is global.

[DrummTrip44]

@wuschel28021991 you mean the coast guard are a bit like the navy.

[wuschel28021991]

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?

[sticklandred]

Wow. Very cool, and so glad there are heroic individuals like this out there. THank you, Navy!

[HazeGreyAndUnderway]

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.
