Correct.15 if I remember right?
I know this is for stupid aviation questions, but I’ll force the fit...
Saw a picture about USNA “selection night” Happy future ensign picks a ship...View attachment 21329
How does this work, especially for other than SWO types? Does a sharp middie get to grab a card that says Flight School/VFA-25? Do future Marines get to go for a card that reads “Corps/Infantry/2nd Marine Regiment? Also, do the colors have any meaning? (You can pick a red ship, but not a white one).
Correct.
Where/when are you heading to VTJ?What is the current policy on using tablet based navigation apps in the pointy nosed cockpit? I seem to remember hearing about a pilot that flew home on his Garmin watch. It just seems that Foreflight with an adsb puck could be very useful. But having an iPad in the cockpit is where the buck may stop I imagine.
And right there folks, we have illuminated the root cause of pilot retention. If only we would let mids pick not only their community, but actual squadrons as well. Geesh, this isn’t that hard people !!!Obviously dudes can't pick a fighter squadron out of the Academy, they haven't even been to flight school.

You can fly with whatever you want. Now we have RNAV, so it's a little easier to get around without anything except an approach plate.
The talk is that PEDs will go away in the P8, which is sad because it is such an SA tool to have gucci weather in the cockpit.
Any reason why?
