We now have flying warrants in the Fleet. FY10 saw 3 pilots and 3 NFOs selected, and the program itself was recently reintroduced for another year with the intention to select another 3 pilots and 3 NFOs for FY11. The program continues to state the following career path options:
B. TOUR LENGTHS: SEA 36 MONTHS, SHORE 33 MONTHS.
C. ELIGIBLE ASSIGNMENTS: VP, VQ (P), VQ (T), HSC, HSL, AND
ASSOCIATED FRS,TRACOM, NSAWC AND WEAPONS SCHOOLS.
D. SELECTEES ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR DEPARTMENT HEAD (DH) TOURS
AND WILL FILL
Thread history on Air Warriors:
This program is not impacting the TACAIR community, but now that the flying CWOs are in the Fleet, are they qualifying on time? Will they get to sign for planes? Or in the P3 community be a permanent 2P? Much conjecture was made on the forums back in 2005 as to their fate, and how they would incorporate into squadrons, but now that it is actually happening, is it successful?
