I know carrier guys do a sea tour then shore duty then a disassociated sea tour(Cat officer etc.". What are the options for P-3 NFO's second sea duty???????? Is it back to the squadron or something else????????
 
Both Pilots and NFOs in P3s following their first shore tour go to a disassociated sea tour (TAO, CAG Staff, ANAV, Shooter...), there are also a few slots to go back flying in P3s for that sea tour.
 
I know this is way on the future, and I don't even know if I can get P-3's but.......... Is it possible to have that dissasociated sea tour(if not back flying in the squadron) in Jacksonville if your shore duty is there. I want Jacksonville, but more importantly I want to try and set myself up to move a slittle as possible. I already have 10 years in before OCS, and would love to stay in one place. Do you know what platforms/duty stations traditionally have the best chance of not moving much(I realize this all hurts my chance of becoming an Admiral)???????
 
You can try and get a carrier out of Mayport... No flying there though for disassociated, only Hawaii and Maine for that type of tour.

There are not many slots there though....
 
Thanks for the info, hopefully this premature retiring of 1/3 of the P-3 fleet won't hurt my chances too much. It will still be over 2 years before I go to my first squadronm so we'll see. I did the carrier thing before and I can do it again no problem, but with a kid on the way I want to try and get P-3's.
