I wasn't dual mil w/ both of us in flight school, but my wife was active duty CG while I was going thru flight school. Not sure it'll be apples to apples, but if you got nothing else, let me know.

I'm a HUGE fan of mine. I wish I had gotten them sooner. And with the radio package in the H65...There is so much that can be going on, that I need all the help I can get to listen to ATC, SMC, SAR freqs, etc.

It's more of a SAR thing than a boat thing. Any given day you'll here one or two PAN PAN calls around here for missing boaters or folks in distress. I'm not sure what RCC would be responsible for this kind if search, so I'm not sure use of a PAN PAN would have been prudent or helpful.

Sounds good man. I'm going to be living up there while my wife and son will be living in Maryland...so I may. Ot be much help for housing, but the folks up there will be all over it. Congrats on swearing in and we'll catch ya up there!! If you need anything else - You've got a message w/ my...

Hey - Congrats on the transfer to the blue suit. I'm slated to move to ACity this summer. You reporting in 10 days from now? You single or married/kids? I only ask cause there is a neighborhood that lots of the single folks split rent on houses. Has anyone contacted you yet? If not - When...

I applied for the first board I was eligible for on the boat...The package never made it off the boat because my CO wanted me fully qual'd with some experience to fall back on if flying "didn't work out the way I thought it would" I worked my tail off and got a glowing command endorsement for...

There is only one Air Station that flies those and it's usually more of a tour, two if you are lucky, not really a "career." I'm not sure what the requirements to be considered for the job is, but I know there is a screening process and it is highly sought after.

Yes - It happens. Two of the pilots I've flown with here - 1) Did a boat tour and an MSST tour and then went to flight school. The other did a boat tour, then an boat XO tour, then flight school. It is not a deal breaker, but (this is personal opinion developed from discussion with a wide...

I'd say you should try - You may not get picked up for the DCA program, gut if you don't try you'll regret that I would bet.

Possible - Sure. Anything is possible. But how much time/distraction/effort and general BS do you want to put up with ti get there?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No specific degree is required to start the program. Strong performance at your first air station, w/ some time spent working in the AvEng dept will help. It is likely that you will go to grad school for an aviation engineering related topic at some point after selection for the program, so...

Only because you are telling me to.

I laughed too-That doesn't make them helpful. But because the great and powerful Brett has declared there is no humor in CG aviation - I'll just shut up and color over here in the corner.

Oh yeah-I had to edit my first post about 18 times to take a couple less jabs at the fixed wing guys. But the only answers being jokes rubbed me the wrong way.

Being that I can only assume it's a serious question and the first two answers are jokes...Yeah...Seems a bit outta place.

Can the garbage responses go away?? The 130 is a long range surveillance platform - They help maintain maritime domain awareness and conduct searches over large areas. They are also equipped to air drop survival supplies when rescue may take a long time or equipment to underway units. They...

Never mind...Found it:

They have a few winners: I can't put my finger and the body paint version...

Welcome to the Coast Guard Flying Club!!!

X2

I don't always agree with Otto..but I will on this one. I can't tell you how many knees, shoulders, and ankles I hear popping during a Crossfit workout...until it hurts or interferes with your golf swing-Just don't worry about it.

I got the take an extra duty to open up our pilots to fly over....Does that count??

IDK about easier...But it's an option. And you have to get conditionally released from your service to join the CG, so I'm gunna go with yes on completing your ADSC first.

I was a Deck watch officer-just like SWO. You can also be a student engineer. I was responsible for the electronics, weapons, and navigation divisions at various points in time. I was also the urinalysis officer, ships store officer, primary Maritime LE boarding officer and LE program...

Concur-Had a nugget check in late Apr/early May and left the end of last month. Heard a story of a -60 driver in waiting expecting a full year. But there are also some plans to loan airframes to ATC to try and accelerate that timeline.

I think he is talking about the Coast Guard Air Station - . That is between 7/24 at LAX.

No citation for it - but the gouge mill says the AF balked at selling these and the whole plan is dead in the water.

Maw-Saw it pop up in my unread posts and then figured I'd explain the lack of photos - this AC thing is no joke...

That was a name that came up when we were there but we didn't get there. Home now and about 1/2way thru my AC upgrade...Have to try next time!!

Brunes in New Zealand. Just about to jump the Triple 7 back to LA. Taking off at 930pm on Monday-Landing at 245 PM on the same Monday. Back in the Big Easy around 1230 Tues AM. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions-I'm putting together a trip details notebook and, well..I'm no...

You probably need to worry about OCS, flight school, and several years of obligated service before you worry about what jobs are put there to follow a job you don't have yet, eh??

Sitting the the Auckland War Memorial Museum waiting for the Maori Cultural tour to begin... Totally recommend a stop in or trip to New Zealand to anyone....Cairns, Australia was also awesome.

This is what I figured would be the explanation. I know the Clearwater is HUGE..... And you are right about the numbers game....Statistics don't lie-People do.

Not bad thing-Just not what everyone wants. I'm likely to get qual'd an AC in Jul and then 6-8 months become an RWAI AC and then go TAD to DC once or twice a year...Not ideal for me.

I don't have them here-but we flew the most hours of SAR last FY. 800ish. Number of cases is irrelevant because of standup/standdown cases.

Short answers: More airframes= more hours. Special missions also bump up flight time. Busiest SAR rotary wing airsta= NOLA. Everyone has something that makes them "special" -Married, family, lots of ferrets. Even dual active couples only get colos if possible. Special needs is the only...

Naw-She is a flyers daughter. Her Dad has done PA, Astoria,and Humboldt Bay. No matter where you go-You can have a great or horrible time. I'm trying to get TAD up there to check it out...but lots of folks go and try to stay up there...

Walked about 10 miles in downtown Sydney yesterday...Toured the Opera House and got to tickets to see Train and Matt Nathanson in concert there. Climbed the bridge. Has fish and chips (cliché-I know...but fugging delicious too. Also had James Squire "Sundown" golden ale and "One Fifty Lashes"...

You just need to tell my detailed that I need to go to heaven then... And my wife says Port Angeles is even better...

Tampa/Clearwater was decent. Great ENS gig-First Fridays were great. New Orleans isn't bad either. While I wasn't permanent party there-Key West was AMAZING. Lots of TAD there....so the place/life was great. Can't comment on costs. Really want to give the Pacific NW a shot next...

LMAO-Our mistake was flying from CT to AUS straight thru. Spent about 4 hours at the LAX USO but that was it.. Slept all yesterday afternoon and all night. I'm set now...Going out for brekkie and wandering the city today. Might go climb the bridge and check out the Opera house.

I think we are bussing it and checking out Three Sisters and Echo Point, plus Blue Mtns park, Katoomba, and Leura Village. Only part that sucks is being wide awake right now....at 3:20 local....

The wife and I on earned leave time-The locales are already picked w/ domestic flights paid for...We've got a day in each spot to do whatever we please and a day w/ an pre-panned tour- Sydney tonight and tmrw by our selves. The 8 we go to the Blue Mountains for the day. Doing wine and snacks...

In about 3 hours I'll be landing in Sydney to start my vacation. Anyone have suggestions for things to see there, in Alice Springs, in Cairns, or in Aukland, NZ??

The opportunity to be a test pilot? Yes-Very limited (like one slot every few years if I remember right).

Not extremely - most 65 drivers are going to either Atlantic City or HITRON within their first 3 tours - so if you seek a spot at one of those two-you have a decent chance of getting it. And yes-Rensselaer -My buddy was going to the SUNY Albany campus so we were gunna light upstate NY on fire.

x2 (million). I as all set to go to RPI and I get a late call about an alternate spot at CGA. And look at me now!!!!!

You need a command endorsement to put in for flight school -So they address the issues with your early departure from the unit at that point and come up with a plan for if/when it happens. They also address your fitness/potential. If you want that good endorsement- You want to get to your...

Subbed for later - Gotta re-read and then reply for real...
