Air Boss will probably make Captain.Would a CVN-CO have promotion priority over a CAG for flag rank? And does making Air Boss mean you no longer have any real promotion potential?
Air Boss will probably make Captain.
CVN CO and CAG are equally competitive for flag.
Is it possible for non-tailhookers to work their way in to CVN CO positions and CAG?
Also while you are working as CAG are you allowed/qualified to fly all the aircraft in your air wing?
Are CAGs exempt from the "no more than 2 NATOPS quals" rule?
I was NATOPS qualed in the T-34C and SH-60B at the same time (basically, my last 60B check had not expired yet) but I would have had to let one go if I got NATOPS qualed in the T-44. (no NATOPS qual, I did the standard student SFS bit in the 44)
I call BS, unless she is a reporter or some kind of celebrity I doubt that she got to go up. They do incentive flights for reporters and celebrities but in my time I have not known any spouses or other civilian family members that got to go up in a Tacair jet.
I thought it was buried in the bowels of 3710, I had head a couple TPS guys say it comes up as an issue up at TPS (I think they get waivers, it was a couple years back, can't remember that well).
