Did he - or will subsequent AF folks go to the boat as part of CAT 1 syllabus in the Growler?This has been an on again, off again thing over the years going back to the Prowler days. I think the distinction here is that the USAF is sending Cat 1 pilots, which is relatively new. We're looking at getting one of these guys through the GTI course eventually, so we can retain them in the broader community.

F-15C’s to leverage the air to air proficiency they gain as growler dudes.If they're Cat Is, do they have a follow-on community already IDed? Or is the AF punting and saying "you're a G pilot for now; we'll figure the rest out later?"

Pilot won't go to the boat, some EWO's have been to the boat, but more of a professional development good deal, or bad deal however you want to view it, but they ultimately end up Exped.
