    First Shore Tour to NPS

    Starting Sys Engineering Analysis in June as a post DH. It is way off track...and your 24mo NOB will not make you O4 in aviation (at least right now). But...if you are planning to redesignate, the degree may help. Good degree for outside the Navy tho...

    We have 2 fallen angels in our squadron, for medical and family reasons, that are 1520s: Aviation Maintenance Duty Officers. It's not a bad gig, but not knowing your situation, work your ass off because the juice is worth the squeeze. Otherwise, search "needs of the navy"...I was a former HT...

    Commercial License help needed

    Don't forget type ratings to add when you do it too. One license fee, since they all go on the same CERT. Anything you were NATOPS qualled on (must be greater than 12.5k for helos) is eligible. Just bring NATOPS jacket to FSDO when you bring your cert above.

    Sure! Why not? I am surprised this didn't show earlier. Chris was one the the SH middies with me at GT. Such a shame...but brings up a bigger conversation IMHO...Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts, absolutely. It's a classic look into the aviator psyche (my own included) who allows...

    Prowler crashes in Eastern Washington, Aviators Feared Dead

    LOL, copy. I will tell you, one of the greatest gigs that you could ever voluntarily take that will shoot your career in aviation right in the face would be the Naval Safety Center, but my GOD what a great tour that is. The only thing that saved me was that I took it due to HAVING to do an...

    Prowler crashes in Eastern Washington, Aviators Feared Dead

    As someone who manned, in the NAVSAFCEN on a 24hr watch (all e-7s to o-4s had this at least once a month) for ALL mishap phones (Sub, Surface, NSW, Air), we knew within the first 4 hrs.

    Prowler crashes in Eastern Washington, Aviators Feared Dead

    I understand the frustration behind the Navy's privelidge policy, but it's equivelent to Doctor/patient, Lawyer/client, etc. and allows a shade closer to the truth to be used for improving safety culture in SIRs (which are 100% NON-PUNITIVE). I really don't think many aviators are properly...

    Level D time towards ATP?

    Gotta give a plug to Shepard here. Cheapest, most efficient way to get your gouge for the test. Trust me on this one. I did it the hard way (going 3 hrs from PCola to study out of a book, which was significantly more expensive.)

    Liberty Radius?

    My command has the most liberal policy I've ever seen. 150 miles for 24 hr, 400 for 48, 600 for 72/96. ALSO allows plane flights/train/boat trips within a 5-hr return trip from Norfolk during any liberty period. But to answer your original question, we use TRIPS, which is driving distance.

    Interesting incident...

    Certainly eerie. I will tell you, however, that if you do enough research, you'll find some very interesting NTSB reports...and a few that make you go "hmmmm..." I read all 246 fatal helicopter accidents (US civil) from Sep 2002-Sep 2012 for data for my Masters Thesis. My favorite was this...
