Wings...Finally!!!

[puck_11]

Nice work cricket! Good luck, keep us posted where you go!

Thanks again for all the congrats! I just smoked a gorgeous stogie, had a glass of wine, and kicked my wife's ass at dominos... it's good to be the king. ...at least, for now. I'm sure that my brain will be swollen and my helmet on fire in the RAG, but for now... all I can do is smile.

To answer some questions I've received via PM...
1. We're hoping for Oceana.
2. 16 mos was advanced only. The API to Wings process took 32 months start to finish...

Congrats! That is so cool. And wow, that is some serious school time! All worth it though!!!

16 months and finally soft winged!!! Now I have 3 weeks to the ceremony, and planning on some much needed Leave.

Thanks to everyone who's been so supportive!

Good job and congrats!

Congrats man.

congrats man... I am working on beating your record... went med down 2 months into advanced due to a motorcycle accident (not my fault) spent 5 days in the hospital added 13 screws and a plate to my arm, just had it all taken out this past monday, 6 months of rehab and I should be back up for a nice round estimate of 25 months to complete advanced, baring an e2/c2 selection which would probably put me over the 30 month time frame... but I'm not giving up, for anything.. hope to join you some day!

Who do you send the request to?

 

[othromas]

I think any of the moderators can add wings.

 

[MAKE VAPES]

Do folks still have to go to BOLT in Pcola after winging, or did they do away with it? Is there a delay to start the FRS?

Who do you send the request to?

You can PM any mod and ask, but I was referring to going through the User Control Panel (the preferred method). You just click to add the group "Naval Aviator- pilot wings" or whatever it's called and update. That'll put in a request and a mod will add you when they see it.

The user control panel, user group join request is the way you get the wings. Mods can't just add them.
