Before I got my transition I tried to do just that, as I knew the Jet VTs were undermanned, took P3 clowns, and I'm farking competent.
I was told "not possible, Jet VTs won't take a helo guy as an IP" by the detailer.
It means the E-6 has 4 jet engines, hence it's a jet. Last I looked the P-3 was a turboprop. I don't consider either of them similar in operation.WTF does this mean?

I'm sure navigating the jet airways is a whole lot tougher when you're going twice as fast. I mean, your GPS has to work QUICK to keep you on profile!...It is a jet, and we fly a lot faster in all phases of flight than the P-3...
Who cares what they call it. You fly a turbofan, not a jet, anyway.FLY_USMC said:It has props, nough said. Do people refer to the T-34 as a jet? I'm not arguing or spouting, I'm just saying......and yes....I did sleep through API. Minus the part when they told the Navy guys not to pick P-3s.

I don't know for sure, but I'd be willing to bet 200FT flying is a lot harder than FL200 flying.

Dude, I totally have my hand crafted double-ended blade lightsaber with extra force powers...... but it would be like two fat kids arguing over who's Sith Lord costume is cooler...
Hey now, it's an honest question. I am generally curious since it does seem like quite a difference, especially since P-3 guys don't land on carriers and CQs are a fairly important part of the syllabus. There really are a lot of opportunities in the navy that you don't realize it seems like. When does someone get assigned a detailer?
