As per the advice of 129Paddles, I am posting a bunch of my stupid questions in the correct thread.
So, not being an aviator but just someone incredibly interested in all the cool stuff you all do, I have a couple questions (mostly) regarding collateral duties.
1. Do pilots have more than one collateral duty at a time? Like, can a DH be Maintenance and Ops officer at the same time? Do JOs have more than one collateral at a time?
2. What are all the other billets filled? Training, Legal, Q/A etc?
3. Which ones are given to, say, 1st sea tour guys (uh, and girls) and which ones to more senior aviators (2nd cruise, 3rd cruise)?
4. How many pilots are usually assigned to a squadron in each of the platforms, Helos, Hornets, Prowlers, Hawkeyes?
A lot of questions so I'll stop now.
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to reply.
