mission equipment and crew served weapons systems" before reporting
to their first squadron. Throughout training, candidates will be
continually tested, mentally and physically, as they advance to
more rigorous and challenging scenarios. Training includes: * Water

high seas, cave and cliff rescue training) Senior Enlisted AIRRs
may also be selected to become: * Schoolhouse instructors * Weapons
instructors * Master rappellers/instructors Promotion opportunities

It's also important to note that specialized training received and
work experience gained in the course of service can lead to
valuable credentialing and occupational opportunities in related
fields. EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES Members of the Naval Special
Warfare/Naval Special Operations (NSW/NSO) community have any
number of unique opportunities to advance their knowledge. Navy
training provides skills and knowledge in everything from military
tactics and small arms use to survival and a number of other
tactical military procedures. Beyond offering access to
professional credentials and certifications, Navy training in the
NSW/NSO community can translate to credit hours toward a bachelor's
or associate degree through the American Council on Education. You
may also continue your education through opportunities like the
following: * Fleet Replacement Aircrew/Mission Tactical Instructor
* Navy College Program and Tuition Assistance * Post-9/11 GI Bill

become an Enlisted Navy AIRR, but a high degree of difficulty and

should consult your physician or other health-care professional
