Oh good God, that drive took me like 15 minutes and I lived in the freaking Q.

I'm currently in VT-6. What everyone has said about 6 is true. The first thing our CO told us when we checked in was "You are not candidates. You are officers and will be treated as such." They really live up to that. They are also really willing to work with you if you need to snivel for something. The consensus here is that 6 is the best squadron at Whiting with VT-2 not being too far behind. As for VT-3, well, its only 6 months, right? Then again, which squadron you get is really just luck of the draw. Whiting's a nice place to be stationed, though. As far as Vance or Moody go, STAY AWAY! Nobody I know that went to either place remotely liked it. Unless you really enjoy being in the squadron spaces from 0700 to 1600 regardless of whether or not you fly, the Air Force is not the way to go. If you do go to Whiting, find someplace to live in Milton. It is a lot easier to commute from Milton to P'cola for 6 weeks than the other direction for 6 months.

Uhh ... I'd like to see the data supporting you unbiased "consensus". Did I miss the memo, or was there a vote ... ?
Unless they can't get you through in 6 months which from what I hear is very possible. Either way, there isn't much you can do to "rig" yourself into a squadron...
Sh!t - it was the exact same 20 years ago. Too funny.
meh, there are worse things...like lemoore.
I wasn't trying to imply that there was some sort of scientific study (are you an academy grad?) I just know that the gouge that floats around TW-5, including from the Civilians that work in aircraft issue, etc. all say that I'm pretty lucky to be in 6. Maybe they say that about all the squadrons. Even if I am biased, I don't see any biased VT-2 or 3 types on here. And JAMN is right. There are some hold-ups in 3. It may take a little longer to get through, but that also depends on what service you're in.
Coming at it from the other side, I'm hearing the same things about -6. I don't hear bad things about -2, but -6 seems to be the most respected right now. I can actually give you some data to support that, but it really doesn't matter. Things change over time, and in the end you can't pick your squadron as a stud, so live w/ it.
Except instead of waiting by your cell phone you were waiting by your rotory phone (hehe)
Hey ... I'm in Meridian and Walmart IS the main excitement (hehe). No **** .... the other day I saw High School kids hangin out in Walmart like I used to hang out in the mall when I was in High School. What is the world coming to.
Enjoy Pcola while u can. I *****ed about Pcola when I was in Primary but I went back a few weeks ago to hang wit my boyz and Seville never looked better ..... you don't know what you've got until you get something worse (hehehehehe)
Peace,

EXACTLY my thoughts on moving home to California after Wings, and counting down the months/weeks/days/MINUTES until I get to go back. Nowhere better, in my biased opinion.
