How long is training at a Helo RAG?

I am in the Idaho Army National Guard and am going to rejoin the Navy soon. I am going to go for AW/Rescue Swimmer, and I was wondering, does anyone know how long the training at a HS/HSL/HSC rag squadron is?

I'm not sure about the others, but when I was at the HSC FRS the FRACs were averaging about 4 months to make it through the syllabus.

That's awesome. For some reason I was thinking it was something like 6 mos. to a year. Well that answers the other question: My wife and daughter won't be coming there 'til I graduate I guess.

HSL/HS/HSM run a bit longer than HSC at the RAG..

Metric Butt-Ton of sensors, tactics, etc for the AWs to learn.

HM is about 6 mos.

Cool. I know there was a lot the AWs at HSL-51 had to be able to do in the air.

It is unfortunate, however, that they were unable to do it, particularly when compared to HS AW's.

HH-60H, go back to Starboard Delta.

Or get a Radar.

(gotta stick up for my old crewmen)
