I contacted CNATRA to correct the glaring errors on the NFO training pipeline and they have updated their page: https://www.cnatra.navy.mil/training_officer.htm

or unless you have a bout of airsickness and they send you up in the -39 to work out the kinks....
That would be far and away an exception and hardly worth mentioning in an overview.
Maybe they are forecasting the future....when the AF takes their T-1s and plays by themselves. Within two years, the AF will complete their own training building at NASP and move all AF & AF toys to AF only training.
And yes, they use the T-39 for INT training.....the fact that it's now only international students is not included.

I don't think anyone will really miss the T-1 harassment package, in my opinion.

Where do they send you for P-3C, EP-3, and E-6 FRS? It tells you what aircraft but doesn't say the locations of the training...that I noticed for Navy anyway.
So it may be a little threadjack but I did not want to start a new thread and the NFO synopsis thread was closed. Question is if any of you salty NFO's or studs who are more ahead of me have any advice for contact flights? Sims pretty much went off without a hitch. I spent a bunch of time in them and that seemed to help come show time. Any special things I should be looking at before flight 1? Thanks in advance.

Make sure you know the big (5?) flight procedures COLD (ATS, LSC, POS, TP, Spin), since remembering them will be harder when you are trying to control the plane as well. Also know boldface, ops limits, etc cold, as well as the discuss items. For EPs that are a discuss item, don't just know the boldface; if there is a PCL procedure look it up in the NATOPS as well so you know the systems reasoning behind why you do each step. Search the gouge forum for course rules, there should be a Google Earth file with course rules and Area 1 landmarks.
Make sure to have fun too - contacts are great especially if you do as much flying as the IP will let you. Knowing all your stuff in the brief helps set a better tone for the flight.
