01JUN26 SNA/SNFO board

It’s the same for P8s as the other platforms: fleet/sea tour, shore tour, disassociated all to make 8 years or so post flight school. I’ve been told many times most P8ers go drones for shore tour. And the whole point of the disassociated is to go to a boat and do Navy things so unless you get lucky and go be an admiral’s aid, there’s no getting out of it.

One of the VP30 IPs did a staff tour in Korea before coming back as an IP, my instructor last night did a tour teaching the Aussies how to fly the P-8 as it was coming online. There are some cool opportunities but it really just depends on timing

no problem! pretty sure our BOLs won't reflect until way later. my OIC is very curious how your CO found out since no results are in BOL on the TRIAD side

I was told by the PO1 at NRC that notification will populate on BOL only if it’s a PRO REC N. Not sure how true that is but I don’t bother on checking my own BOL.

I thought you can instruct t-54 or t-6 as a shore duty. Why would you not want a flying job?

From what I've been told, to get a VT spot, you generally have to be an IP or IUT for your squadron. I believe they're also always trying to fill billets so you don't necessarily get the job you want (as is the case with most things in the Navy)

TPS looking like a real nice option if you're lucky enough

My command is on the compressed work schedule (CWS) since we work with majority civilians. Not sure if I should bother my CO on our day off 😭

there's 2 chiefs in charge of all the OCS programs right now and i dont think they touch each others stuff.

chief #1 handles: SEAL, EOD, NFO, PILOT, AVO, IWC: (OCEANO, CW, IP, INTEL, MCWO, CWE, SWO OCEANO)
chief #2 handles: SWO, SWO EDO, JAG STU, JAG DA, SUPPLY, AMDO, CEC STU, CEC DA, PAO, HR ISPP, EDO ISPP

i asked chief #2 about the SNA board process and was asked what SNA is, so i'm gonna assume chief #2 is not going to be posting our results because that is not their community

in their defense, they are busy

There used to be 3, that means those 2 are very busy.

Not sure why the emails are going out at different times for AD. My CO got an email at the end of June and Finley’s CO just got his. I know the BM1 (now ENS) that was working with Mr. Celestine is no longer there so that may be a reason for the delay

very busy indeed.

side note, not sure if you can answer this: but how does one active duty member get notified from TRIAD of results with an OCS date and other active duty members don't? i'm thinking maybe due to the amount of applicants they're doing a rolling release of results while they hammer out the rest of the OCS dates, but you'd have better insight probably

late ISEL notifications....?

if im not mistaken, the BM1 (now ENS) that was working with Mr. Celestin were just the in-processors and don't release results

Well of course every pilot wants a flying billet. The issue is it seems about 2/3 P8 bubbs don't get it. They're not straying away by choice. Those who do go instruct at the VTs likely had a great FITREP, granting them their top 1 or 2 choice.

That's awesome! It seems the deeper you get into a community the more you hear about the one-offs. I can only attest to the what IPs and friends that were prior enlisted P8 told me in Primary and Multi so my knowledge on this matter is quite broad.
