Just kidding, I was a shitty onwing. But I did overspeed my landing gear on my solo. I guess the "but" wasn't necessary for that pair of sentences...

The son of a good buddy finished TBS in August last year, he finished IFS and then API in January only to be told there is a 6-12 month hold to begin Primary. So there is something going on with Marine SNA pipeline in 2019....

Do you know it he is at Milton or Corpus?
Milton. He is pissed because he and a few buddies rented an Apt near Milton and now they are going to end up being sent back to the MOC at NAS Pcola until they can start Primary at Whiting
If there’s nothing significant to report then there doesnt need to be an ASAP filed.
Required ASAP completion for completion sake creates situations where folks invent things to write, degrading the significance of ASAPs about real safety events.

If he is already up at Milton they are going to keep him there, they decided against sending the Marines back to the MOC. Those currently graduating API have to stay down there though.
And if he checked in during January I probably know him. They are waiting longer then us Navy guys, but Marines who checked in with me in January are starting in April so the wait probably won't be as long as he thinks.
There was a longtime guy in CNATRA safety who was big on everybody filing a report for every single flight, even if it was just the "nothing happened" checkbox. He quietly moved on from his billet about the same time his boss quietly had an early change of command in the wake of the OBOGS ORM-out a couple years ago...
3710 says otherwise. But I think you may have missed the humor in my earlier post.
To be fair, he was just pushing the overall NAE directive. I'm getting the feeling there's a perception among the "recent" orange and white crowd that this is specific to their world, when it's not. All of Naval Air (or at least the Navy portion of it) have been blessed by this requirement for many years now*.
*Disclaimer: You can probably count the number of ASAPs I've written on two hands since its inception, most were because I had something to report (ATC, student Spacial D episode(s)). But I advocate to at least know specifically what rule you're blowing off before blowing it off.

Just a quick update for those of you that posted. I checked in at NAS Pensacola in late April, sometime around the 28th, and am scheduled to start IFS next Wednesday. They are sending everyone through SWIM before IFS right now and from the current dates being put out, it looks like it will be about a month in between IFS graduation and API starting.

I think this is just for Marines. I am Navy and checked in early Aug and classed up for IFS w/o going to SWIM first

That is unbelievable. I can't believe there is such a huge disparage in the Navy/Marine Corps pipelines.
Historically MATSG would have Marines sit around for months before starting API while Navy guys would class up as soon as they could. There's always been a difference in how the bodies were handled between the services.

I'm also an NFO so they are pushing us through super quick. I think the SNA's timeline is similar to yours.
I think you intended to type disparity, and you should get used to it as each service has their own throughput requirements.
