United States Navy Work Values

Daily Duties at United States Navy:

Aviation Warfare Systems Operators are Navy enlisted aircrew members. You cannot receive the AW rating without being a volunteer to fly as Naval aircrew. The AW rating is divided into three categories: Aviation Warfare Systems Operator - Acoustic (AWA), Aviation Warfare Systems Operator - Non-Acoustic (AWN), and Aviation Warfare Systems Operator - Helicopter (AWR/AWS). As an Aviation Rescue Swimmer, I was part of a highly conditioned group, dedicated to being the top emergency response unit in the world. I routinely put the lives of others before my own. I had to apply my intense physical and mental training to challenging real-world situations where there's often no margin for error. I was called upon to contribute to any of the following efforts: Recovery missions, Rescue missions, Humanitarian assistance, and Operational support. Thinking, acting and succeeding in the definitive task at hand: survival. Specific Responsibilities We were required to be prepared to enter the most dangerous conditions to provide relief and recovery to those in need. We found ourselves jumping into the ocean from helicopters from hundreds of feet, using search and rescue swimming skills to ensure safety or using evasion, resistance, and escape techniques to save those in distress. Some of the many duties I have part of as an AIRR include: Saving pilots of downed aircraft, people aboard stranded or capsized vessels at sea or even hikers and mountain climbers in danger on land Rescuing civilians during natural disasters and collaborating with other forces, such as the Coast Guard " like the joint rescue missions. Working as a Crew Chief on a H-3 helo, where the primary duties were to make sure the rescue swimmer and the pilot are on the same page and to operate the hoist in rescues Delivering aid and supplies to other countries in humanitarian operations Providing support to Naval Special Warfare (SEAL) Operations Conducting surveillance in anti-submarine warfare and drug interdiction operations Transporting troops and cargo to and from ships

What they like about United States Navy:

Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.
