    Romeo Aircrewman to NFO

    I went through primary aug11-jan12 with multiple prior AC guys (2 swimmers, 1 flight engineer, 1 COD? AC) and I can vouch that they all did a fair bit better than the average stud. I can't however say if this was due to their prior time in the cockpit as AC or if they were just more...

    Friend in Need

    Waiver approval

    Took me 8 months (Feb - Oct '10) to get mine for an ACL reconstruction. It really depends on the severity of the issue, how long it takes to look into it, if you provided them with everything you need (I had to send them an updated Doc report along with numerous other updates and...

    Medical/ getting hurt

    Hey AW thought I'd add my story since I'm in it right now. I tore my ACL OCT 09 and was thought it was just a hyper extension. Not wanting to tell the Navy (Senior in ROTC) with a FO slot I just tried to keep pressing on. My running got worse to the point around January I was unable to go...

    API and possible shutdown

    AW, supposed to class up for API either this Thursday the 8th (if they have enough for a class, only 11 or so IFS complete ensigns in A-pool) or the 15th. I was curious if anyone knows how this possible government shutdown on the 8th will affect us in training command. I used search function...

    Still training EA-6?

    Are they still sending NFO's to fly the EA-6 or are all new NFO's going directly to the EA-18? Still in IFS but still curious. Appreciate it. -pb

    Best time to head to API with ACL rehab?

    Thanks guys I appreciate it. I knew about the report date/class start difference but thanks for clarrifyling. I am able to submit my packet to the medical board August 8th (6 months post surgery which is normal recovery time for ACL) but I'll go ahead and delay reporting until later in the...
