240301-N-EV253-2092 SAN DIEGO, Calif. (March 1, 2024) – US Naval Aircrewman 3rd Class Andrew Janvrin, left, a Yukon, Oklahoma native, is presented with a certificate by Capt. Thomas Butts, commanding officer of the “Merlins” of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 3 during a Fleet Replacement Aircrewman (FRAC) graduation ceremony on March 1. Less than one month after Janvrin earned his “Wings of Gold,” he assisted in a rescue effort on March 23 on Glamis Dunes in Imperial County, CA. During the event, Janvrin, along with Fleet Replacement Instructor pilots Lt. Caleb Herrick and Lt. Brian Kennedy, had been conducting routine flight operations in the area when they observed an unconscious civilian next to an all-terrain vehicle, and provided on-scene medical care before assisting with hand-off to Reach Air Medical Services. HSC-3 is the Navy’s West Coast MH-60S FRS, responsible for training pilots and aircrewmen by providing the most capable warfighters to the Fleet.
