A little information about me, currently working at a fire department at the age of 22 years old. Looking to better myself and have a better retirement plan as well as serve my country. Ive had many family members throughout my family tree join the service so I want to be apart of that. I know what it takes to become a Spec Ops AIRR Rescue swimmer and I also know my limits. Current stats
1.5 Mile Run: 9:42
Push-Ups in 2 Minutes: 73
Sit-Ups in 2 Minutes: 68
Pull-Ups (Dead hang): 16
500 Yard Swim in 12 Minutes: 11:50 Breaststroke (My weak Point as you can tell)
Now I'm not here to sound cocky at all but I personally believe that I am in great shape for my age.
Bf %: 12%
Weight: 162
Height: 5'10
Now that I kind of gave a little information about myself I want to get to the question which is what is the difference between a Naval Aircrew man and a Spec Ops AIRR Rescue Swimmer? Is it all one thing or can you choose to just be a Naval Aircrew man? Also if you choose Naval Aircrew man is it just a part time job or would it be your full time job? I would love to have the ability to try out for the Spec Ops AIRR but my endurance when it comes to swimming is not quite up to Par I believe. Now don't get me wrong I am a swimmer and always have been my entire life. I live in the pool when I was younger all I would do is swim. My problem is mainly the endurance. If I was 18 years old I would of course take a year or two to work on that and then join but since I am 22 years old and getting older I'm not quite sure if that would be a wise thing to do. So basically what I wanna ask you guys along with my previous question above is would it be wise to join the Navy active duty enlisted? How long is the Naval Aircrew Man schooling? Is it a well respected job and what is everyones thought on the job? What does the job consist of cause all I see is videos of people sitting in a chopper shooting off and jumping out but would't that make them rescue swimmers? Basically what is the difference between AIRC and AIRR and why is there no information about Naval Air crewman on the Navy website? veteran at our station was a Naval Air crewman who keeps telling me to join that and get my wings but I just wanna make sure I am making the right career choice. Thanks guys and I apologize in advance for the long question.
