PR - Aircrew Survival Equipmentman
With the creed of “the last ones to let you down,” as an Aircrew Survival Equipmentman (also referred to as Parachute Rigger or PR), you’re responsible for the life-saving equipment that keeps pilots and aircrewmen safe in the event of an emergency. Though rare, if the flight team needs to eject mid-flight, your work ensures that everything goes according to plan. On day one, you’ll prepare aircraft for every possible emergency well before the plane ever launches. From rigging parachutes to repairing the stitching on shoulder harnesses, this job does everything it takes to protect the lives of Navy pilots and aircrew.
