really bad at math
I was looking at the DoD site for USNTPS selection and they released two lists for FY2016 (Board 1 & 2, respectively)
One list was solely [LT Lastname, Firstname, M.I.], no squadron or platform.
The other list was a list of VX squadrons (VX 23, VX 31) and listed [LT Lastname, Firstname, Platform].
If these are sea-tour JO NA's and NFO's, how are they in a VX? Lots of Rhino Drivers on the VX list...
Does being in a VX for a shore tour help accession to USNTPS at all, or was the first list fleet squadrons (VFA/VAQ/VAW...)
