AWO - Naval Aircrewman Operator
Playing mind games with your opponent to predict their every move may sound like the plot of a movie. But for a Naval Aircrewman Operator, that’s what they do on the job every day. AWOs are the ultimate defense against the threats from the deep, locating, tracking and engaging hostile submarines. Using radar, sonar and a lot more that we can’t talk about, you’ll be the first to hear the menacing “ping” from a sub and the first to make that sound disappear. As an Aircrewman Operator, you can become the eyes and ears of our intelligence forces.
