(dramatic music)

00:00:13,221 --> 00:00:16,138
(electronic music)

3
00:00:20,406 --> 00:00:23,160
- The mission of our school is to train

4
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,080
the best helicopter pilots to go forth

5
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:27,553
into the fleet and become combat aviators.

6
00:00:28,210 --> 00:00:31,423
The importance of this
school is kinda multifaceted.

7
00:00:31,460 --> 00:00:33,650
We are the only naval helicopter

8
00:00:33,650 --> 00:00:36,373
training facility in the country.

9
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,590
We build the, really
the bedrock foundation

10
00:00:40,590 --> 00:00:42,650
of all the skills of

11
00:00:42,650 --> 00:00:46,150
officership and responsibility
in our new aviators

12
00:00:46,150 --> 00:00:48,950
before they go forth and
become fleet helicopter pilots.

13
00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:51,050
Marines check in with us following

14
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,263
graduation from primary flight training.

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,820
They come to us, they
go through several weeks

16
00:00:55,820 --> 00:00:57,803
of rigorous academic training,

17
00:00:58,140 --> 00:01:00,940
then we get 'em into procedural simulators

18
00:01:00,950 --> 00:01:01,783
and then we take 'em out

19
00:01:01,783 --> 00:01:03,180
and we start flyin' 'em in the aircraft.

20
00:01:03,180 --> 00:01:04,430
Coming out of our school,

21
00:01:04,490 --> 00:01:06,850
they go to the fleet replacement squadrons

22
00:01:06,850 --> 00:01:08,860
to learn their specific platform

23
00:01:08,860 --> 00:01:12,823
and become basic qualified
combat helicopter pilots.

24
00:01:13,070 --> 00:01:17,383
In marine aviation, all of our
platforms are ground-centric.

25
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,160
We've got a saying in
the skid community that

26
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:21,293
it's all about line A,

27
00:01:21,460 --> 00:01:22,300
it's all about the friendlies,

28
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:23,980
it's all about the people on deck,

29
00:01:23,980 --> 00:01:24,880
that's what we do.

30
00:01:25,350 --> 00:01:27,200
We support the Marines on the ground.
