NFO's have not gone to NGP for training. Are you thinking San Antonio?
No, I heard that all NFO's (post API) are getting sent up to Newport for 3 months of SWO school followed by 7 months of NFO training at Newport State Airport. The transition should take place within about 4 months.

And then all NFO's must do a "pilot appreciation tour" and fly as -60B/F ATO's on all boring missions. Pilots still get the occasional Hellfire shoot..
nice! i look forward to that tour :icon_tong
Every other class selecting out of Primary is being sent to either Randolph or Jacksonville.
If you get Randolph (San Antonio), you leave after completion of Primary training. Do 6-8 months of training in TX, then get winged.
If you get Jacksonville (the "Test Group"), then you finish the INAV block (you could finish in 1-2 wks if you go on XC's. If not, 2-3 wks), go to Jax, finish the 6 wk Undergrad Maritime Flight Officer course (Advanced training), then wing. Pretty sweet huh?
Again, this is from sources at Jax. There's a group of us leaving in March for Jax. In the meantime, I guess I'm in D-pool or whatever u wanna call it. Good times.
