This note is especially aimed at those "future NFOs" who may have an interest in meeting and talking with Tailhooker aviators in your local area. They can be a great source of information and answers to your questions, and would be thrilled to meet those of you who are just embarking on the road towards your Wings of Gold.
The Tailhook Association has a number of "Local Ready Rooms" across the country. You can see the complete list, and get info on their upcoming gatherings and a point of contact for each on the Tailhook Local Raady Rooms page of the Website at: http://www.tailhook.org/All Ready Rooms Schedule - Master.pdf (be patient while the PDF file loads).
I run the San Diego Tailhook Ready Room, but there are others in Washington DC, Hampton roads, Colorado, Dallas/Fort Worth, Omaha, Honolulu, San Francisco, China Lake and St. Louis. Monthly gatherings are the norm, with some holding quarterly lunches, etc.
The Tailhook Website is, in itself, a great place to peruse and get info.
All the best, Spike
