Not according to our NAPP officer.. there are 2 more Prowler slots for the next two wingings.

Mefesto said:The two retreads at Krock looking to go back Prowlers... you guys talking about BH and ST? (their initials)... went through primary with both... awsome to hang out with.
Know both, went through the RAG w/ BH. I think out of that year's transition group (4 ECMO to Pilot that I know of), at least 3 are going back to Prowlers. Gotta love the brand loyalty. Pay attention, Punk. Plus, keeping all your old quals doesn't exactly suck either.Mefesto said:The two retreads at Krock looking to go back Prowlers... you guys talking about BH and ST?

Yeah, not how I'd choose to do things. My bet is that these folks have bought themselves positions in the last remaining Prowler squadron (i.e., they'll never see the inside of a G model). If I know anything about how detailers/ROs work, they'll be flagged as "already got their good deal." Transitions also have weird timing for follow-on tours and I've seen several of them get screwed out of a competitive FITREP at the DH stage. Hope it's all worth it.Dawgfan said:Sounds like they're addicted to flight school! 2 years for NFO wings, a year in the RAG, two more years for pilot wings, another year at 129, fleet tour, then another 6 months or so back at the RAG transitioning to the G. That's living the good life.

I suspect that him being a Level V might have had something to do with that.Punk said:Two of the retreads asked to go back to Prowlers, one who didn't. That's the one whom you are talking about. I was in the VT's with him, good guy. He just didn't want to come back here is all.
