    Primary on Monday

    Oh, BTW: Congrats, Erin! Thanks for keeping us in the loop during your Primary experience. While "the more things change...", the fact remains that Primary at NSE in 2013 is a much different beast with the T-6 than it was just a few years ago with the TorMentor. Hopefully others can/have learned...

    Re-select E2/C2 out of primary again for FY13 studs?

    In other words, Ops Normal at NSE @HD: Anecdotal evidence, but it seems that they're training to fly the AV-6B at NSE these days, what with all the Lawn Dart patches I see walking around.

    Re-select E2/C2 out of primary again for FY13 studs?

    Re-select E2/C2 out of primary again for FY13 studs?

    No dog in this fight, either (I've got nothing to do with Primary - I'm an Advanced Helo IP), but I think your view of the role of Primary, as well as how "we" IPs grade the way we do, is a bit off. Primary doesn't exist solely to determine who "is cut for jets", nor do the Primary IPs give...

    Think this Sequester thing is real

    Haha - I got a robocall Friday telling me that the 0700 PRT (which I don't take, BTW) was cancelled...at 1000.

    1. Should have cut it to idle as the nose approached the windline. :D 2. Thanks. Long after you're gone, we'll all have to sit through 'Vette training at our safety stand-arounds.

    FIFY. Where'd you wind up settling, anyway? No, this place does not have the same general QOL as San Diego or Hawaii, but Ivan and Dennis gave this place a clean palette a few years ago...and "they" have been making the most of it. There's a shit-ton to do here year-round, it's relatively...

    HMX-1 MV-22

    Don't have a dog in this fight ('cept for the obligatory drive-by cheap shots), but I wonder what life will be like in the gray squadrons when HMX gets head of line privileges for plopter parts.
