There really isn't a big difference between the two. FRAC for the individual Air Crew Sailor.

FRS the squadrons as a whole.

Yes, Fleet Replacement Air Crew.....but one son (RSS) told his mom he is going to FRS and that there is no FRAC. I've been researching since my son told us about his choice. I like being able to hold a conversation with my son about his job. What I did find was a conversation on another website that said Aircrew are no longer getting winged after FRS, but have to wait until after FRAC.

So, do some only do FRS or FRAC? Or, do all do both.

Son is AWV if it makes any difference. He'll grad SERE this Fri and then on to Tinker AFB. Curious why I don't find much info about AWV other than the normal description. I've also not run into many parents or spouses of AWV.  Thanks for you input!

FRS=Fleet Replacement Squadrons

I'm still looking for the definition of FRAC. My son told me about it once, but I don't remember. I think it may be as simple as Fleet Replacement AirCrew.

Hello to all you seasoned people here.

I was wondering if someone could explain the difference between FRS and FRAC...is there one? A couple of us Moms are trying to figure out some things.

Thanks!

aaahh, not to worry for me, I don't fit through the little round windows on the side anymore, alas....

Port, starboard,...whew..all these terms! I guess on a ship you better know your stuff or they might throw you out the little round window on the side!
