Hello everyone, I wanted to know what was it that makes the P8 lifestyle or any shore based aircraft so lucrative. I hear people say that can travel to all sort of countries across the world, which is a plus for me. I have heard that on JO tours would be be around 45 hour work weeks. Would that mean they get weekends off? Deployment of course I imagine would have lots of hours, which I am not afraid of. I also understand they get per diem which is a nice bonus. I heard that being a NFO on a P8 is "cake" but am not going to go in with that mentality, but is that just an exaggeration? One of the reasons why I plan on joining the Navy was to get veneers, so would being in this field lessen or improve my odds if I am traveling to multiple bases? Any pros and cons of the shore base aircraft would also help. Thanks
