There’s a program authorization for ISPP. It exists. It is a headache though, and even if you are basically qualified there is no guarantee that the admiral will endorse your application. Sometimes they want to see ‘ISEL scores’ even though you may meet the minimum requirements for ISPP.
Yes it is a process, and yes there are some CO's that decide that even if the USN has said what the qualifications are they will decide to add some addition requirements even though there is a reason NRC set the requirements they did. I had one CO that would not endorse any officer application unless the person had their warfare pin.
I was talking to a guy on Facebook currently in flight school prior ET2. ISPP was the only real route for him cause he was a 48 OAR 5/5/5 or something like that. It’s a great program to the people that have used it.
They had one in Huntington Beach last weekend. I live nearby and got to see all the jets fly right over my house. Coolest one I saw was an F-22 and P-38 flying side by side. It was a heat wave for sure this weekend
I was at Miramar. Definitely hot but not as hot as it’s been in SD lately lol
Miramar was dope. The Blues ran into some maintenance issues on Friday for me and were down a jet. Lockheed had an F-35 sim in the Expo hanger which I feel like a lot of people missed, super cool experience and gives Fat Amy more brownie points for me lol. Did some A-G and it really is a video game. Heading to Fleet Week this weekend too; lineup looks fire.
I’m in the same boat. Fleet applicant with an I-SEL for NFO. Submitted back in late May. I just sent off an email to the Assistant aviation OCM, due to the OCM being on leave till the 9th.
On the bright side at least OC is a but more chilly compared to more inland like riverside county lol.
ohh yeah man for sure you guys are really going though it rn
I did see the sim but unfortunately did not get a chance to try it. My friend joked that like dude it is going to be your job anyways so no need to be in line.
