AWR - Naval Aircrewman Tactical-Helicopter

Swimming, flying, saving lives—the job of an AWS is that of a superhero. Naval Aircrewmen are the versatile operators behind the cockpit of a helicopter. They are the lookouts, the weapons, the swimmers and the rescuers. As an Aircrewman, you may insert or extract Navy SEALs and special warfare operatives, deliver goods to our ships out at sea and even leap into the ocean to save lives. One day you could be shooting down enemy craft, the next you could be evacuating the injured. Do you have what it takes to be the eyes and ears behind our pilots?
