Deployment related questions

I'm having to suppress my desire to look at the 5000 series pubs on my CWS...not because I don't believe you but because I do and now I'd like to educate myself. I'm pretty sure this exchange is worth at least a 1.0 of CL in EDACM ?.

I'll get the paperwork ready for course equivalency from DAU. :D
 
How many deployments can someone expect to go on during their first pilot contract?

It varies, depending on timing, Carrier Airwing squadrons vs Expeditionary, etc. I was in an overseas expeditionary squadron on my first tour and spent 15 months of that tour deployed. Some of my peers went to a carrier squadron that didn’t deploy at all during their tour. That is a LOT less likely to happen now.

For what it's worth, to show some consistency here, I was a CONUS based CVW squadron. I left my first tour with just shy of 14 months at sea, and figure an additional 4 months away from home, 3 of which were in Fallon and 1 was in Oahu.
