I have been following my son's Aviation career with interest. I scour the threads to stay on top of his training to see what is different from when I went through.
He just completed NFO Primary and selected EP-3's. I know that he will be reporting to VP-30 in Jacksonville in early January and then eventually will go to NAS Whidbey Island (where I spent about 5 years as an NFO in a P-3 Reserve Squadron).
I cannot find anywhere in the threads, any updated info on how long the EP-3 NFO's spend at VP-30.
Does anyone know at what point he will seperate from the VP NFO's and begin learning the VQ material. Also can you give me an approximate time frame it will take to earn his wings at VP-30. (My wife -- a former Navy Nurse -- wants to try and make the winging ceremonies, as do I.)
I appreciate any and all info you can pass along. Air Warriors has been an awesome way to stay up on Naval Aviation since my retirement.
Thanks.
