Pays to be a winner?
The DH is strong with you. But I'm not complaining about the pay bump.
Pays to be a winner?
Hey an O-4 has a good idea!?!I don't have 28 years, but I think if folks are being honest with themselves, they would probably admit that BS GMT is a minuscule time suck in the life of your average aviator. If it is taking that much time out of your day(s), you probably need to get more creative in how you meet the requirement in a reasonable amount of time, stiff arm it, or tell people to STFU and completely disregard. I remember a day when we knocked out an entire year of GMT (while completely bypassing NKO) in a series of in person JO presentations, each topic of 3 slides or less of content, completed in around 15 minutes. If you aren't empowered to be creative yourself, your leadership certainly has the leeway to be, and it might be worth being the dude/gal who suggests a better way of doing business if they aren't. I know this probably doesn't apply in VP, you guys are just F'd.
You probably say "sergeant majors" too.your chain of commands
Hey an O-4 has a good idea!?!
Nowhere did I ever advocate not doing the training. FWIW, we had a suicide in my command a couple years ago when I was XO. Nobody ever asked us whether we had completed suicide prevention training (of course, we had). ISIC level interaction during that event was 100% "what can we do to help you guys get through this."
I think we're beginning to see a pattern.
fucking helo pilots get 175K??? What the ever-loving fuck?????!!!
...good for them...but they're not the ones bailing for the airlines in droves.
Helo bubbas are going many places post-Navy, not just the airlines.Sorry you’re tell by me the Navy is basing it off of one year data point-the reality is they’re 4 years behind. And the number of helicopter guys getting hired by the majors is nowhere near the numbers justifying 5 times as much money.

Fake news. Once you get selected for helos the die is cast and making right hand turns in the D will be the pinnacle of your life. Only FW guys have a hope of a career post navy; be it as an airline pilot, MBA student, lawyer, or doctor. If RW bubbas are lucky they might get to drive the forklift at Costco or the baggage cart at a regional airport.Helo bubbas are going many places post-Navy, not just the airlines.

The HM community has been deadly shitshow in with an uncertain future recent history and there aren’t a lot of folks in it...
Huh?
If you guys turned left instead of right, you could be NASCAR drivers.Fake news.
