Ep-3

[kaiangel]

Could someone tell me the chances of getting EP-3's out of advanced. I hear a lot of people try to avoid VQ, but I just really want to get to Whidbey.

Whidbey is a great place to be! If Whidbey is your goal, not EP's, then you need to know that there are 3 P3 squadrons there. VP-46, 40, and 1. 46 was mine and both my wife and I really loved it there. Not really sure how to select EP's, though.

or.. select Rota and get transfered there later. best of both worlds.

Vq

There are two VQ squadrons, both flying the EP-3E. The EP-3E is to be replaced by a new joint Army/Navy SIGINT airplane in the next ten years, possibly a variant of the BAE-145 regional jet.

My first squadron was VP-1 at NAS Whidbey. Not a bad place to be.

Minor detail but it is the ERJ-145, an Embraer jet, not a BAE-145. Hopefully it will be sooner than 10 years, I think the plan is 2009 right now. Subject to change like any other government contract......
