BigIron,
Care to share what you've seen w/ the reserve integration and HM? Specifically TAR.
Absolutely.
Both HM-14 and HM-15 are partly reserve components. It is different than your legacy TAR (now FTS) squadrons. There is a Reserve Department headed by a LCDR type FTS OIC and manned by FTS personnel. They manage all of the squadron FTS and SELRES (selected reserves) personnel. Also the OIC keeps track of the reserve dollars budgeted to them by COMNAVAIRESFOR. The reserve OIC is typically the No 3. in the command behind CO/XO.
Every 4th or 5th CO of an HM squadron is an FTS type, so there is command opportunity for HM FTS. The current CO of HM-15 is FTS.
As far as JO stuff, those guys/gals get picked up FTS after their first shore tour, then come to the FRS (if needed) for a CAT 3 syllabus and then report to the squadron as a LT. They get O4 there and basically do/fill in for a DH tour. Really the integration is seamless for the FTS. They deploy and do all the same things as the AD folks do. They just train the SELRES types in addition.
After their tour at the squadron, they either screen for OIC or not. If they do, they can come back as an OIC. If not, they go fly C-12s or do other cool things or go command reserve centers. It's really a good deal. I think and if it weren't for the bonus, a lot more people would do it. There is an FTS bonus, but it doesn't pay as much.
If you are looking into this as an opportunity, PM me as I know tons of folks and can lead you to the trough. No HM community experience required.
Anyway, there's only one NAS North Island, and it's not in Hawaii. Do they have a KBay in California (KBD does not count)?
