US COAST GUARD RESCUE SWIMMERS

[@NegiTaiMetal011]

I think the US Coast Guard deserves more respect and credit.

[@ericirwin413]

I think one of the reasons how the Coast Guard doesn't get as much recognition and respect as the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines is because there combat oriented and the Coast Guard isn't!! And with all the people in the Coast Guard there are less then 300 rescue swimmers by themselves!! People don't really think about what the Coast Guard actually does besides just search and rescue!! Coast Guard's been around for almost 231 years! August 4, 1790! Nobody really appreciates them until they actually need them!! Idk if that part is true or not!! For example The Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico!! Accidents like that where they really need to be called into action!!

These are true heroes. Many people tend to panic when being rescued and inadvertently end up nearly drowning the rescuer. Add that to an already stressful situation!

Started off watching this channel only for the branch I was interested in joining. Found myself watching every video you upload. I feel I know a good amount about each branches capabilities thanks to you guys. Keep up the good shit

[@Deimos_the_Autist]

Same here I’m current Army but don’t feel my job is nearly enough for my potential so I’m planning on using these next years ets.2023 to get my degree online and train. Mainly rucking is my only weak point and maybe swimming. But planning on using these videos on whether or not i want to transition to another branch or FBI.

I watched these guys train while I was in AET A school. Some of the rescue swimmer classes have zero graduates. They are tough inside and out.

One of my dads employees was in the navy and then becomes one of these! Truly hero’s.

[@yqpe2907]

FYI: The videos of the person swimming from the boat to the other Coast Guard member is NOT a Rescue Swimmer. They are referred to as "Surface Swimmers". It is a qualification that you can obtain at mostly every Boat unit in the Coast Guard. As they do swim in water to help any survivors, do not confuse them with the actual rating of Aviation Survival Technician (Rescue Swimmer's). Surface Swimmers can not enter the water under certain circumstances such as high winds and high swells.

Anyone who disrespects or ridicules the Coast Guard is clueless and wrong, and they likely never served in any branch of the military. Confident and competent men do not feel the need to put down others. Much respect to the USCG from a prior Air Force Airman!

" The Guardian", starring Ashton Krucher, Kevin Costner, and Clancy Brown, was a great film depicting these Aviation Survival Technicians ( AST) . " The Perfect Storm" with Mark Wahlberg and George Clooney, comes to My Military Mindset, as well as a book entitled, " Rescue Warriors".

[@zachbartlett683]

Hi General Discharge. I wanted to let you that the Advanced Rescue Swimmer School in the USCG is at Air Station Astoria, Oregon, which is right on the boarder of Washington state.

[@julianpastor574]

What About the US Navy’s Aircrew and the Aviation rescue swimmers? Can you make a video on that?

[@lexigerkeymedlen3819]

Can you talk about navy AIRR or AWR/AWS?

[@josephmitchell6199]

Facts, are u a AWS or AWR?

[@joshuamros5058]

Once you become a Helicopter Rescue Swimmer (AST) we do a PT test once every 3 months. It’s a lot of land a water stuff. Also the guy on the boat with a life ring and tied to the boat is not a (AST) Helicopter Rescue Swimmer. That’s a non rate who is just the cutter or surface swimmer. Usually those are just the most fit person on the boat. Big difference from a AST. Mostly accurate video though.

[@adalbertocruz5316]

Awesome as always, I know you already covered briefly, But can you do a more detailed vid on USCG Maritime Security Respond Team.

[@jorger643]

Mad props coast guard ✊

[@samwertheimer4848]

The clip of the swimmer attached to a line while doing the training was a surface swimmer and not a rescue swimmer. Surface swimmer is just a qualification that normally non-rates get if you are at a cutter or small-boat station. The requirements are way lower and is someone who will likely never actually have to get in the water. The AST’s don’t go out attached to a line.

[@carlosguillen5540]

I was in 90 to 95 what happen to the boat crew swimmer? If you could not come alongside and it was your turn you went in with a stokes litter, bouy ring, etc. Do we not go in anymore?

[@silntstl]

"The AST's don't go out attached to a line". Not completely true. Depending on the sea state, winds and other mitigating factors there are times when they a required to stay on the hook. Meaning they must not detach from the hoist hook which in turn is connected to the hoist cable.

[@samwertheimer4848]

[@vahardcorekid]

The people on the boat are not ASTs. They are just surface swimmers. Huge difference in the two. They are called Aviation Survival Technicians because they deploy from helos. They do not get underway on boats. The swimmers on boats is a collateral duty that they volunteer for and do not goto school for.

Why don’t ASTs do the full EMT-P similar to USAF PJ’s? I have been watching some of their videos and it would seem that they bring Corpsmen along when ALS is needed seems like a commonsense move.

[@silntstl]

The USCG helo does not carry ALS (advanced life support) equipment so no need for a full paramedic on board. There are times they will take a HS (Medic) for a medical transport or hoist a nurse/doctor from a cruise ship for advanced patient care.

Coast guard rescue swimmer vs navy airr??

[@optrdocksidebars7106]

No comparison really, one actively performs rescues and has the training and experience to back it up, meanwhile Navy SAR rarely performs their actual job and focuses heavily on other aspects like tactics and utility work. For the Navy, being a rescue swimmer is more of a collateral duty, and not the main focus unlike a Coast Guard AST. You will focus much more on being a hoist operator, crew chief, and aerial gunner in the Navy.
