About the Rate
Naval Aircrewmen (NAC) serve as aircraft systems operators and inflight maintenance technicians aboard U.S. Navy fixed and rotary-wing aircraft — performing duties as aerial gunners, rescue swimmers, sonar operators, loadmasters, and more. The AW rate represents the pinnacle of airborne mission readiness.
