Phrog, from the Navy end of it, helos are a risk-adverse (more so than the FW guys from whay I have seen) and our mission is not that exiting.

Unless you can get in one of the HCS squadrons.

They are a reservist gig, with a couple of AD augmentees.

I'm going to be a bus driver, and that is OK with me.

Trust me, you won't regret it.

Our XO went through there on the TAR program. Sounds like if you have to fly helos that that's the way to go.

Try HSC. We have the helo. We're getting the toys. Still, we're bus drivers and trash haulers. I have no problem with that, either.

 

[MasterBates]

We had/have all the toys HSC is going to get.

Navy still won't let you play with them..

Damn....my dyslexia's kicking in!!!

HSC = HC's replacement with 60's, VERTREP, PAX, MAIL, CARGO, SAR

HCS = Reservist squadrons that mostly do SpecOps support.

Thanks for the explanation...so I did have it right...HCS. Anyways, long story short is that it sounded like some good flying for helos in the Navy.

Well, this isn't completely true. Yeah, it's too bad there isn't much day to day info in primary, but the guys from Meridian come down pretty regularly to brief studs on the pipeline for the exact reason you mention. There were some guys down two weeks ago, as a matter of fact.

The only thing I don't like about that is you hear it in a "briefing" format, and maybe talk with the guys for a little bit. To me, that's a huge difference than working shoulder to shoulder daily, flying with, etc. While not always the case, I think it's harder to get a person/group's personality with such little interaction.

I do think it'd be a lot better for community exposure if there were a good cross section in primary. Just my $.02.

and a few lucky souls get per diem. wonderful, wonderful per diem.

I would have liked that as well. I was surrounded by Helo Bubbas, Cool P3 guys, Bitter P3 guys, and a few insane Cobra pilots.

There was 1 C2 pilot who was a wing reservist, I did a X-C with him, and he convinced me to put E2C2 ahead of P3. Would have been nice to see real live Tacair guys, instead of just hearing "Jet guys are fags" from all the P3 and Helo types.

I agree. I also think it would be nice if I had a threesome once a week. But alas, it just doesn't happen.

You, Steve and John? You could watch UF games in lieu of foreplay.
