Against his will? Transitioning (or not transition) has its consequences in all platforms. Every dude I know that has gone FAC from my T/M/S has volunteered to do so. YMMV and transitioning aircraft has its consequences.I know one Major who's about to do his third AirO tour. Originally an AH-1W guy, did a FAC tour, was not chosen to convert to the AH-1Z, did a TACRON tour, transitioned from AH-1Ws to MV-22s, did not progress at all as an MV-22 pilot, now going to 3d MLR to be their AirO. I won't claim he isn't a good pilot since I never gave him any Xs, but he doesn't really have any options to stay flying at this point.
