Ok so here is my rant....Im an Aviation Rescue Swimmer in the Navy. i have been doing this for about 14 years now. i LOVE being a swimmer and i think it is a very important and pretty cool job. my problem is, on the Navy recruiting website, navy.com, they list this job under the title of "Special Operations".
This really bothers me because i think they are misrepresenting the Rescue Swimmer job and making it seem like something that it really isnt. I also think that it is extremely misleading to young and impressional people that are interested in this job.
Another huge reason this bothers me is that SEALs, EOD and SWCC fall under Navy Special Operations and i have a great deal of respect for these people. So i feel that it is pretty disrespectful to these groups that actually are Special Operators.
We have a kick ass job and i think that it could stand on its own merits without churching it up or putting an unrealistic title above it.
Let me know what you think....sincere responses only please.
