Hey so I’m reading through the OCS documents. How big is a squadron?

I've been around squadrons quite a bit. Navy differs from AF in that the Navy squadrons have the maintenance department within the squadron. There's typically Operations, maintenance, and others I can't remember. As an officer you'll have your flying requirements that you have to keep up to date on, along with whatever job you're assigned to manage. Long story short I think they're pretty big due to maintenance side of the house.

my squadron had about 6 P8s during home cycle, and 8 P8s on deployment. I'd say total personnel including officers and enlisted (admin, maintenance, aircrew), where a total of around 300. this vastly differs in communities. For instance, fighters don't have enlisted aircrewmen, helos don't have FOs, so it really depends. FRS squadrons could potentially have WAYY more people. I was in VP8 and we had a commander as a CO, VP30 (an FRS) had a Captain for a CO, so that tells you how much bigger it can be....wait and see I guess, you will have a love/hate relationship probably with all of them regardless hahaha
