I had no complaints about the flying/squadron both times I was in VT-28. 2002 and 2007 to give a timeframe.

Not really. Of course, I'm just happy to be here as a transition guy. The IPs I have worked with seem to be good instructors/guys. Although I probably see a different side of them since I'm a tad older than the average stud, there is a pretty good atmosphere in the student ready room and not too much hate and discontent. At least as far as I can tell. Yeah, Corpus is a damn good place for primary except for the nasty wind from January to May.
28 is back to being a 'Navy' squadron, problem has sort of moved on from what I hear
Don't penetrate South Field on your checkride. VT-3 isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. You don't get to choose anyways. I was originally slated for VT-6, got moved up 2 weeks to VT-2, but had my annual flight physical that week, so I ended up delayed a week into VT-3. Sure JCOP is kind of annoying, but I'm getting almost $50k a year, I'll gladly take a 4 hour work day.
VT-6 is where it's at...or was at...when I was there.
Was being the key word here.

Final Select SNA (Sept 13th)
So I am following this right, if you are married you are sent to Whiting for Primary training no matter what?If you like hanging with cliquey married dudes then have at it(putting on flamesuit)
Not necissarily, but that was the "norm" when I went through building 633/API. I know of at least a couple married guys who came to Corpus, and at least one that was sent to Vance.
it seems as though VT-3 has the longest time to train although they claim they're attempting to speed that up quite a bit for the T-6 transition.
You and D-Rob?
Oh snap, but we met in corpus.....
on base housing
the word they're telling us over here is you have to live in base housing, is that really true? I'm assuming they can't make you do that if you're married? I already have a lease and my wife and I have 3 dogs while base housing allows only two.

That's why they call them orders.
The good news is that if they go that route there's always special requests. If you call TW-5 stucon they can tell you now exactly what the policy is, and it's probably faster than waiting for someone to tell you on here.
