And what about AIRR Corpsman? How could I fly aircrew with you guys?

AIRR is the Aviation Rescue Swimmer program that puts candidates into either the AWR or AWS helo crewman rating. They have some medical training, but nothing extensive.
The best information I can give you is to be in good physical shape, and express an interest in going SAR when you get to your "A" School in Texas. From what I gathered at SERE, you volunteer to PT with the program coordinators and other candidates in the mornings before your regular class schedule... if they like you, they'll offer you a spot. They'll also be able to give you better information about whether or not you have to drop your HMDA contract.
Unfortunately, that's really all I know because... fortunately... I've never dealt with SAR corpsmen outside of SERE training, lol.
