Aircrew and NACCS

I leave in a few months for Basic and after I'll go to Pensacola for NACCS. I have some questions I hope you can answer.

- Can reservists become rescue swimmers?
- What is the Advanced Technical Field Aircrewman Program?
- Are all Aircrew "AW" and do they do the same tasks or is there specific jobs within Aircrew?; when do you find out what you are? Do reservists have the same opportunities or job openings as regular enlisted? How is the selection process?
- If corrective eyewear is needed, what is used during training and NACCS and In-Flight ops? Are they comfortable, do they slip? Does the Navy provide them?

These are a few of the questions I have that I would be very grateful if you answered.

Hey Kain. I don't think you're being ignored here, but I think these are questions that your recruiter should be able to answer.

I do believe that reservists can become rescue swimmers. Again, check with the recruiter. All Aircrew is AW then after the AW comes the designation for the specific job.

Check this link for more information about AW.

As for corrective vision, the Navy does provide plain black glasses during boot camp. You may wear your own, or contacts for your graduation from boot. You will have to wear the Navy issue glasses when told to do so.

I don't know much about the reservists, but again, your recruiter should know.

Good luck to you!
