RADMR? I think you mean RDML. But I got what you're saying. I wonder if selection for P-8 is the same for the NFOs, which was during Primary I last remember.

Met a few fellas from the first P-8A FRS class tonight during the MPRA symposium. VP-16 will be the first squadron to transition starting in June and the first group of Cat I Pilots, NFO's and AWO's are onboard and getting ready to start training. The P-8A is HERE !!!!!

Supposedly the first primary selects for P8's were back in October of 2011 from VT-3....HOWEVER they found out about 2 weeks ago that even though their selection papers say P8, someone high up argued to keep that decision at the FRS level instead, so sounds like you just finish multi-engine training, head to JAX's and then they figure it out. Take this with a big grain of salt I'm just a Marine who likes gossip and doesn't understand it completely.

And A-Wing all the way...

B-Wing is cool, but you're out of your mind if you'd take that over an x-wing-have you SEEN how LUXURIOUS the x-wing's cockpit is?

I got a chance to look through the developing Tech manual for P-8 on the high side. I got through about 10 pages before my first migraine.

seems like y'all have moved on to other topics, but if anybody cares P-8's are selected out of advanced. That is straight from RADMR Sizemore.

When 16 returns we're up to bat after we come back from deployment in December. Interesting times in the community for sure.
