Well I just found out today threw the career counselors that i received orders to HSC-85 in San Diego. I'm wondering what they do, where they go and such. The only thing I know is that they recently transisioned from H-3's to the MH-60S. I'm leaving in November and can't wait to get to California!

Try this linkHSC-85

Thanks for the link lcdrldo. I also trying to see if anyone that is at the squadron was on these forums and would be able to give me more insight.

I don't know anything about the command but I do know that they play a lot of sports with MWR. If you are interested in sports at all. I know this because I put together the schedules for MWR sports at NASNI. Currently they are in Basketball and Softball. They were in Flag Football but just pulled out. Anyway, my point is they do a lot of sports and they all seem like fun guys to me!

thanks for the reply. I love baseball and will definetly check into that when i get there.

HI, Flying2275
I just stumble into this post and I see that is several months old, I'm an HSC-85 SELREST since
Jun,06 if you still checking this post for updates, I can tell you right now that 85 is one of the best NAVAL Helicopter unit in the West-Cost.

Well your almost on your way here so I don't know how much use this will be. We support the range 52 weeks a year. Thats our primary mission. We were just picked up by the Reg Nav, we will be picking up air ambulance soon, and do RIMPAC every other year. Whats your rate?

Hi, Chia
It seems that your are already at the unit, what shop are you in?...
I'm (AM) in WC-120 Airframes, see if you can drop-by next drill weekend and ask for Duran.

Cheers.......

Hey I to am with 85! I am currently at the NAAD!
