SO OTHERS MAY LIVE

When disaster strikes, Aviation Rescue Swimmers don't hesitate-they jump. Into raging seas, hurricane winds, and combat zones, they go where others won't- to bring people back alive.

As part of the world's most elite Special Operations force, Navy AIRRs execute life-or-death rescues in the most extreme conditions. Whether pulling survivors from sinking ships, saving downed pilots, or braving towering waves, they live by one mission : so others may live.

That motto isn't just a phrase-it's a promise. And they prove it every time they leap into the unknown.

AVIATION RESCUE SWIMMER : CAREER DETAILS & REQUIREMENTS

Responsibilities

Depending on your role, duties may include :

Training & Advancement

Aviation Rescue Swimmers must be prepared to operate in any challenging environment. It's why two years of training in advanced swimming and lifesaving techniques, helicopter mission equipment and helicopter weapons systems are required before you report to your first squadron. Throughout training, candidates are continually tested mentally and physically as they advance to more rigorous and challenging scenarios.

Upon completion of initial training at Recruit Training Command Great Lakes (known as Boot Camp), those pursuing an Aircrewman role undergo the following training pipeline :

Aviation Rescue Swimmer School Prep Course (2 weeks) in Pensacola, FL.

Fleet Replacement Squadrons (28-52 weeks) location dependent on aircrew rating in one of five locations (Jacksonville, FL, Norfolk, VA, San Diego, CA, Oklahoma City, OK, Ft Worth, TX) for basic flight and aircraft weapons systems training.

After graduation, an AIRR may be assigned to a helicopter command at sea or on shore duty in various locations throughout the world, Japan, Guam, Spain, or the continental US including San Diego, CA, Norfolk, VA, Jacksonville, FL, Fallon, NV, Whidbey Island, WA, Key West, FL and many others.

Post-Service Opportunities

Specialized training received and work experience gained in the course of service can lead to valuable credentialing and occupational opportunities in related fields in the civilian world whether you're an AWS or AWR.

Education Opportunities

Members of the Naval Special Warfare community have any number of unique opportunities to advance their knowledge. Navy training provides skills and knowledge in everything from military tactics and small arms use to survival and a number of other tactical military procedures.

Beyond offering access to professional credentials and certifications, Navy training in this field can translate to credit hours toward a bachelor's or associate degree through the American Council on Education.

You may also continue your education through undergraduate degree opportunities like the Navy College Program and Tuition Assistance and the Post-9 / 11 GI Bill.

Qualifications & Requirements

No college degree is required to become an AIRR, but a high degree of difficulty comes standard with nearly everything you'll do. Training is tough and ongoing. You should be in excellent physical condition and a strong swimmer.

NOTE : You should consult your physician or other health-care professional before starting any exercise regime or other fitness program to determine if it is right for your needs.

Do not start a fitness program if your physician or health-care provider advises against it.
