A little bit of sewing, checking some rubber duckies, test some ABO maybe, just maybe pack a shute. It really depends on if you get sent to a squadron or the FRC.

in the 80's I was a PR2. It is working on Personal flight gear, Aircraft mounted flight gear. Running a sewing machine. It is a very customer service job. Pilots and Aircrew have problems with their gear, and you fix it. I worked on P-3's 2 tours (Totally Land Based, P8's are the type of Aircraft they use now). H2's one Tour. As a PR there is no need for a rigger on the cruse's. So I never was on a ship either. As a PR there were no chance to fly. If you wish to be a swimmer PR would not be a good choice. But it has been many years since I was around.
