API Coming Soon To a Theater Near You

[FLYMARINES]

Man, I know one of the guys in that pic...I think he got commissioned about a YEAR ago. Is it still normal to wait that long from commissioning to API?

I think some NFO's have waited that long.

If he was a SNFO, he waited around 40 weeks to start API.

 

[BigRed389]

He's SNA.

Edit: Disregard, make that a ~5 month wait, not a year.

 

[FLYMARINES]

He's SNA.

Well, than that's just silly.

I'm a SNA and I waited almost 12 mos. to start from my commissioning date. Commissioned May 05, checked in to the A pool Feb 06, classed up for API in may 06, TW-5 pool in Jun 06, starting VT-3 next week! ...whew

Some leave and stashed at N78 (now N88) Aviation Warfare directorate at the P-gon.

We had 2 JGs but they did the masters thing. PM me about the guy you know.

Also, I don't believe the Air Force "dips" either. I think it's strictly a Navy thing. But I might be wrong.

I've seen it a number of times on the AF pilots and navs at NASC. Havent seen it on a Marine yet, probably never will. LOTS of navy studs do the "dip" at NASC. I guess its lead by example. I saw the O-3s and up doing, so why not. I havent been called out on it yet.

and you probably won't be...except by a fellow stud.

Oh alright, I just haven't seen a lot of it in my experiences with the Air Force through CAP. But then again, we never interacted with a lot of the TACAIR types. Now if only they'd bring back the 100 Mission Crush. . .

I think maybe the crush cap would look kinda goofy with a bag.

But not with Blues.

Looks like the website with Johnny B's TBS movies isn't working. If someone who wants to see them has a suggestion on where to post them, I'll upload them. I've got about half of them. Average size is 40 megs.
