As the realization settles in that most Marine aviators are helo drivers, I wanted to get a grasp on them. I honestly don't know much about them.
What are the missions of the Marine Helos? Where are the RAGs for them?
Where are they stationed?
Are all Helos attatched to a MEU(SOC)?
Do they deploy as often as the Jets?
Are the tours the same as the fixed wing side of the house? (three year tour, some other MOS, and then back to flying job?)
Make sure I got them all...
UH-1 Huey
AH-1 Cobra
CH-53 Sea Stallion
CH-46 Sea Knight
I guess I'll list the V-22 Osprey, but I know that there is some serious budgeting issues going on. Why don't they can the idea and put the work towards the JSF? Oh man, I'm going to get the heat for that one.
Thanks for the info in advance. I basically wanted to start a thread where we can talk about Marine Helos. I don't see them talked about that much. Thanks.
