New York Helicopter

I heard there was a new Navy Job/Rating regarding Air Rescue/Helicopter. Anyone know anything about this or is currently in this job/rating? I just wanted some inside information on it. This is a very new job so its almost unheard of.

I am going to go into the military as a warrent officer to fly helicopters. How much flight time will you get per year? In a real world civilian pilot job do you get payed alot…and if you fly for a corporate company do you pay for the gas in the helicopter. I want a civilian job that pays 70k+ what are my options? or should i stay in military for longer time i plan at least 6 years

I’ve always been wanting to save peoples’ lives. I think this is what I might want to do if I end up joining the Coast Guard next year after I graduate from high school as part of a rescue squad.

Is it hard to get a job as a pilot (fixed or rotary winged) after being a pilot in the Marine Corps? I want to do this but i dont plan on being in the military forever and would like to have a civilian job.

Helicopter pilot in the air force or army?

Let me explain myself…
Ok so im a junior in a technical highschool, im in Graphic Design and ive always had a nac for it. Im good with computers and everything its my talent i do webdesign for a guy out in Las Vegas and i live i Mass, i also work at a Apple reseller store MacEdge, and i just got another job at a Hollister in the mall near by. So i love working out and have been building lately. One reason ive been building up is one is be healthey and stong and i have been contemplating the military for a few years. Time is running down and i was thinking about graphic design for a little while in the military and more the airforce because i didnt want to go to Iraq. But now id rather get out there and help in anyway i can. I love helicopters and would love to learn to fly them but im not sure to join the army or the airforce. Im 17 and im almost 18 and i know your probly like oh hes a kid but i wanna help even if i die trying. Let me know.

I joined the marines and am just curious as to what MOS you would pick to get a job on helicopters during missions.

i have signed for the air force and have the job helicopter maintenance. i’m curious if you can be a door gunner or anything like that if you have the helicopter maintenance job. i know that in the army the helicopter mechanics get to volunteer to be door gunners. can you do this in air force also?

I got a email tonight about something interesting.

Its a brand new ship (probably destroyer) which will also serve as a anti-terrorist assault ship.

USS New York

It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World
Trade Center.

It is the fifth in a new class of warship - designed for missions that
include special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360
sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters
and assault craft.

Steel from the World Trade Center
was melted down in a foundry in Amite,
LA to cast the ship’s bow section.
When it was poured into the molds on Sept 9, 2003, “those big rough
steelworkers treated it with total reverence,” recalled Navy Capt. Kevin
Wensing, who was there. “It was a spiritual moment for everybody
there.”

Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said that when the trade center
steel first arrived, he touched it with his hand and the “hair on my
neck stood up
It had a big meaning to it for all of us,” he
said. “They knocked us down. They can’t keep us down. We’re going to be
back.”

The ship’s motto? “Never Forget”

Im thinking about going to college and eventually trying to be a helicopter in the Marines. Perhaps a Ah-1z or whatever the newest model is. Would this give me a high paying job after the service? Would my experience behind a different aircraft give me better chances for jobs? Just fill me in… thanks

WASHINGTON — The Bush administration is pushing through a broad array of foreign weapons deals as it seeks to rearm Iraq and Afghanistan, contain North Korea and Iran, and solidify ties with onetime Russian allies.

From tanks, helicopters and fighter jets to missiles, remotely piloted aircraft and even warships, the Department of Defense has agreed so far this fiscal year to sell or transfer more than $32 billion in weapons and other military equipment to foreign governments, compared with $12 billion in 2005.

The trend, which started in 2006, is most pronounced in the Middle East, but it reaches into northern Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe and even Canada, through dozens of deals that senior Bush administration officials say they are confident will both tighten military alliances and combat terrorism.
