NAVAL AVIATOR
Naval Aviators go through some of the most intense aviation training in the world. They learn how to fly many different types of aircraft ranging from strike fighters to helicopters. Their specific responsibilities are to track enemy submarines above the oceans surface. Training for this job varies for which aircraft the individual is learning how to operate.
EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DISPOSAL SPECIALIST

NAVY SEAL
Navy Seals provide fast military response to crises around the world. They are expertly trained to deliver warfare capabilities that are beyond the capabilities of standard military forces. Training for a Navy Seal begins with more than twelve months of training that consists of basic underwater demolition, BUDS school, parachute jump school, and Seal qualification training followed by eighteen months of specialized training.
AVIATION RESCUE SWIMMER
Aviation rescue swimmers are the top emergency response unit in the world. They put others lives before theirs in situations were no mistakes can be made. They jump out of helicopters into extreme conditions to complete their mission. Aviation Rescue Swimmers undergo almost two years of training in swimming and lifesaving techniques.
