AWS - Naval Aircrewman Helicopter

Being a Tactical Romeo Helicopter Aircrewman is just like searching for a needle in a haystack—only the needle is a deadly weapon and the haystack is 139 million square miles. As part of the helicopter aircrew, you search the open water in MH-60 Romeos for submarines that lurk beneath. These aircrewmen are also trained rescue swimmers, leaping from helicopters into the sea to save lives. Prepare to detect what others call undetectable as an AWR.
