First flight of the P-8A Poseidon and all things related to transition

Seems like it would be a GREAT reserve gig if the reserves have them by the time I might be looking.....but that is probably thinking a little too far ahead for this business

The reserves do have the C-40 (737). They have replaced the C-9 in some of the squadrons already.

Good point, and my guess would be that it would be a better fit for folks coming off AD without operational VP-type experience

Can anyone confirm if they are taking people coming out of advanced and directly training them for the P8 yet? Apologies if this has been asked. I can neither confirm, nor deny that myself and a few people I know were allegedly officially selected in primary and then allegedly unofficially removed from selection and left in a (so far) unknown status.

Can confirm from Rear Adm. Sizemore (he just said it today at the TW-4 Safety Standown) that VT-31 will be selecting the first slots for the P-8 pipeline during the month of May.

At least we know who our new 3Ps are going to be exactly. I wonder if they're selecting P-8 directly out of VT-10 at the same time?

Don't expect an abundance of slots. 16 transitions first and that seems to be on track. Subsequent squadrons have a very good chance of being delayed.

P-Poseidon God of the Sea

Aw c'mon B.D., it hasn't even logged an hour in the fleet yet?!? Here is the reigning "God of the Sea". Gotta have a tailhook, burners, (and no 3P waterbed & private bidet) to rule!:rolleyes:
