Finding out where you'll be stationed

[SuperStallionIP]

What phrogdriver said. The T&R is the same. We just take the future D bubbas and make them E co-pilots, then send them out to K-Bay where MAG-24 DOSS runs the standardization syllabus that gives them about 7 or so flights in the D before they actually walk down the street to one of the three squadrons there.

Many thanks for the clarification.

53's go to the east coast (North Carolina)
46's, Cobra's, Huey's go to the west coast (California)

Just note, RAG does not always = 6 months. C-130 RAG for me was nearly 9 months. Just depends on the back up.

Other RAGs:

C-130s : Little Rock AFB/Cherry Point, NC (One or the other, but not both)
Harriers: VMAT-203, Cherry Point, NC (Buddies of mine there say that the wait to start alone is 6 months)
Hornets: NAS Lemore, CA
Prowlers: NAS Whidbey Island, WA
Ospreys: New River, NC

Hell, the 46 FRS was 9 weeks for me, albeit with a lot of double pumps.

PCS to Pendleton until training complete, then PCS to New River. The only time you would be TAD would be is if you are refreshing. Since you are newly winged, the Marine Corps will not have you check into a squadron and then send you to the FRS on TAD. Just think if you washed out of the FRS.
