It's career suicide.

So you are stating that if you wait until your shore tour it is too late?
I wonder how easy it is to transition these days, I was looking at going VPs.

Depends on the year group but it's generally tough. If you don't care about a HSM career, start researching it early.

Yes. That is exactly what I was told by the aviation warfare transition program manager. Does it and has it happened in the past? Yes. But it sounds like that is not the current climate.
