It'll also be interesting to see what the lifestyle is like for 22 guys since it's replacing the C2. I know the Navy wants to make it more "operational" then just a COD role but who knows.

I didn't realize that the Navy was using the osprey to replace the greyhound. That is bad ass, that is on my list for sure!

So I work at a brewery in VB, I’m sitting at work tonight and a guy comes in with a carrier group shirt on. Ask him what he does, both him and the guy he’s with tell me they’re pilots. Ended up talking with them about how our board convened today, yada yada… about 20 more naval aviators roll in, bunch of them asking me about the board and whatnot. If that’s not a good sign I’m not sure what it is. Good vibes fellas. Also if anyone around the VB area ever wants to grab a beer while we sweat it out, let me know. We make good beer.

E-6 is similar but the “deployments” are 90 days max, you don’t even leave the US, stay in the aforementioned Gucci hotels and rack up as many flight hours in a single tour as some fighter guys get in a whole 10 year obligation. I guess it all comes down to what your personal priorities are.

Slightly inaccurate. I wouldn’t call our alert facilities “Gucci” by any means, but I’ve also been on the boat so compared to that it’s pretty nice. I can’t complain when I’m getting Per diem every day deployed and able to face time my family a few hours after every mission. TACAMO is not very high on the cool factor but it’s also very very low on the suck factor compared to other.

A cardboard box on the side of the road is high class after doing 3 and change on the boat in my eyes ?

For anyone interested in V-22s, I highly recommend the community. I currently fly on them as a Crew Chief, loading and unloading Pax and Cargo, and it's dope. The pilots are great people who will be great mentors for all future pilots. The primary mission is great, and the per diem, and most importantly, not staying on the ship, are great perks.

On a different note, I was just perusing through May's thread, and someone posted an official memorandum of all of the selectees which was dated 07JUN. The board adjourned on 26MAY, so that's a pretty quick turnaround for all us hopefuls.

Good luck everyone, and may the force be with you!

Sick, another crewdog! Are you a Marine or Navy 22 Crew Chief? Also the memorandum was dated for 7 June but the results didn't come out until 23 June, almost a whole month later?

Sweet, VRM-30 by chance? Also what mission set do they have you guys doing? Is strictly a cod replacement or do they have you doing more "operational" mission tasks?
