Yeah, that's what I figured they'd do for the transition cats, but I'm not sure how they'd rationalize a different program from the Marine pipeline for the nuggets. When are the first dudes scheduled to go to New River?

Still many unknowns but the first guys will go in 17 most likely. I think the idea is to populate the community with osprey drivers internally for a few years before taking the normal quantity of nuggets. Long term, I think the idea is to eventually get our own Navy FRS.

IKE and Uncle Fester have it figured out...it will be mostly COD guys. We will ultimately have helo guys and perhaps even marines come into our squadrons but the majority will come from existing COD dets/squadrons.

Yeah, but you're going to have to replace attrition and promotion...can't keep dudes as permanent JOs, though I'm sure there would be volunteers. LTJG CODsprey Guy has to come from somewhere.

Absolutely; I am not fully aware of what that plan is at this time.
