Are you sure? I thought he got hornets.
It's official, I'm going P-3s. Most likely I'll be going to VT-31 and flying the T-44. Anyone know what the probability of being able to fly glass cockpits at all since I know they're in the process of converting. Also, anyone have any good P-3 wallpapers?

If you want to be done quickly, give serious consideration to the T-44A. It's the same plane, and will feel more "at home" coming from the T-34, and has much better sim and aircraft availability (note, I finished at -31 in September, so my info is 6 months time late)

31 seemed OK, but I was an IUT when I was there, so I did not have to deal with much student silliness. Besides weekend ORM cards. (not kidding)

You may want to call them HD.. They are calling them ORM cards in an effort to not pay you royalties.
The guy I know about did not. I thought he got Bugs west or something, but then I saw him here in his Squadron on the Island. I don't think the re-measurement thing was an isolated incident, though, so it is more than plausable that there are a few stories like this.
This particular one I know went to NAS P'Cola to get remeasured, had some issues down there (I don't know if this feller was fully NPQ at that time), the command was so informed, and his balls got crushed. But he has wings and flys jets, so his balls survived along with the rest of him.
Well actually I didn't get a good look at the bits and kibbles, so they might still have some scarring...haha.
I selected today and I got P-3's. I am happy with my selection and am looking forward to some awesome duty stations.
For what it is worth to others out there - I had a 60 NSS and my buddy had a 57. We both had tailhook first. There were 24 Navy selectees - 2 Tailhook, 12 P3, and 10 Helo slots.

That's a crazy drop. The helo spots are representative, but I guess they needed P-3 guys.....

congrats on P-3's
my opinion with the T-44C's, as much fun as they would be to fly....that will be your only experience flying a true glass cockpit, until the P-8 comes around. There are a couple P-3's here at VP-30 that have the glass HSI's and FDI's, but thats it. So, it might be a little harder to transition to the glass cockpit and then back to steam gauges (just my opinion, never flew with glass)
and for background pics...cheesy, but almost every VP-30 powerpoint ends with this slide

And in all seriousness, I like partial panel better than full panel.
