Meghan,
From what I understand, your fiance will be in pensacola for the first 20 weeks, plus any backlog for waiting to class up (and I understand that there are some whomping big backlogs now). That is for API and Primary. If he goes P-3s then he will go to Randolph AFB (I think that is in San Antonio) for another 22 or so weeks. Then, he'll go to the FRS in Jacksonville FL. I think I remember reading that FRS for P-3s is about 10 months. Then, off to the regular squadron. P-3s don't deploy like most of the other aircraft because they are not carrier based. They spend a great deal of time deployed, though, for their sea duty stints. Something like 241 days a year. Sea duty is about 3 years, then 3 years of shore duty will fulfill the initial obligation of 6 years past winging for NFO. If he stayed after that he could get a bonus of $15000 a year by signing a contract, plus aviation special pay jumps up a lot (starts at $125 a month post winging, then goes up to around 250 a month at 4 years post winging to 650 a month at 6 years post winging). There are a few different places for P3 squadrons (Hawaii, Maine, Whidbey Island in Washington, Spain I think) and it is possible some times to get shore duty in the same place sea duty was served (so no need to move). But, very little is guaranteed in military life. Everything is subject to change, but basics are about 20 months for school plus FRS, 36-42 months sea duty, 33 months shore (finish initial obligation), 24 months sea, a possible short time at shore before hitting Department Head tour by 11 years (DH is ~24 months), then usually a shore (36 months unless selected for command earlier), then command "at sea" (~24 months), usually followed by a shore, if doing 20 years. P-3ers usually make a ton off of perdiem. HTH,
