31OCT22 SNA/SNFO BOARD

[WorldWar33.3]

So what’s on everyone’s dream sheet? Obviously this is just for fun, I know we all have a looooong way to go. I’ll go first:

1. E-6B (OKC)
2. P-8A (JAX)
3. Some pointy nose shit in Lemoore

1. Maritime Patrol
2. TACAMO
3. Helos

Most likely subject to change.

Any scuttlebutt on why the last board was canceled? Just heard a rumor that it was because not enough people applying. I find that hard to believe. My recruiter told me because there were not enough slots open to hold a board

So you're telling me you don't want to indulge on the bitter cold winters, swampy ass summers, and flat land as far as the eye can see? How bout them Sooners tho

As someone from the pacific north west… yeah that’s exactly what I don’t want

 

[WhiskeyWarhead]

1. F-35C
2. F/A-18 or E/A-18
3. Helos

Im with you on this one!

 

[ChandosT]

Being from Colorado, that also sounds like a shit-hole to me as well. E-6B will be the very last resort if all else fails lol

Ah very nice. Colorado is on my short list of places I’d drop everything for. I feel is Washingtonians and Coloradans gel quite well culturally

 

[exNavyOffRec]

@exNavyOffRec do LORs have more weight in a BDCP application than a normal OCS package?

Depends who they are from, a person who has seen you perform over a significant period of time is a good person to have. A person that has met you for 30 minutes is not no matter what position they hold.

There were not enough spots for the board to give out, they are already deep into filling FY 24 spots.

 

[ChandosT]

Man I'll tell you what though, learning to fly out here was intense. Long story short, mountain waves have a VERY far range. And the summer flying weather is dog shit. Best time to fly was in the dead of winter tbh. Low density altitude, plane bascially flys itself out of the takeoff roll.

As someone who’s only done a discovery flight I’ll take your word for it lmao

Don’t knock it till you try it. Having the entire community on one street makes for a very stable environment for your family. You get to fly the largest Naval aircraft in inventory, rack up tons of heavy hours, and the best part….. no boats!

I’m all for the no boat part because been there done that (as a flight deck guy not launch and recovery obviously) but a lot of my issue with Oklahoma and my wife’s for that matter is political and I’ll leave it at that. You can probably figure out what I mean
