Retired U.S. Navy Aviation Rescue Swimmer Mary Sawicki shares her groundbreaking journey as one of the few women in search and rescue during a time when the role was almost entirely male.

In this powerful episode, Mary reflects on her experiences as a SAR operator and instructor, how she earned respect in a tough environment, and what it means to lead by example.
