Flying Suspended At Vance

I'm not much involved in this stuff, but I think it's just specific to that contract.

actually, i think that might be part of it...are there any other people in your class who are STILL going to Vance?
like I said, classes start every three weeks and 1-2 people come every week from API. With no new classes starting, there could be a build up pretty quickly.
There are rumors floating around here that should the 3-4 month mark roll around and this thing isn't resolved we will be shipped back to Whiting.
nevermind, I can't read, my apologies
Bingo.
Word is now that there's a strong possibility of farming those of us in the most senior classes (T-1's and T-6's) out to the other UPT bases. Maybe I can party with my buddies in K-rock for a little while.
Also, the CO of my squadron told us at our platform briefing today that the Navy guys are gonna get priority if/when they farm us out because "We didn't sign up for this shit." This guy is legit. That's T-1 specific gouge only, though.
I've got a friend who's starting API today and he found out yesterday that he was being changed from Vance to Corpus as well. I was wondering the same thing.
So where is the celebration/party goin down?
^^^Man, lucky break for those guys. (from what I hear about Vance)
So are you guys getting any X's while you are there right now? If not, WTF do they have you guys do everyday? I don't know if you like OK or not, but I would pray for them to send me back to Florida if I was in your shoes (unless they were going to eventually make me move back to OK, I hate moving).

Vance is not bad at all. Training is efficient despite having a different style.
Sims and CAIs. I personally don't want to go back to Florida, because, like you, I don't want to move again, Vance is not that horrible place you hear about at API, and it would suck to have to start over again at square 1 and learn all the T-34 stuff.
However, shit happens, and if we do get moved, I'll take my two hours to be pissed about it, and then get back to work.
+1...I think that attitude would carry anybody pretty far in the Navy
I've talked to 2 guys that recently got here to Corpus from Vance and they both told me Vance sucked goat balls for the most part. Thats all I have to go off of.

Same here...I'd say 90% of the folks here who came from Vance have told me similar. That said, maybe they are closet Vance lovers. I'm sure it is personality dependant, like anything. Knowing myself and stories I have heard, I feel like I would not have done well there. There are others who clearly have. The lone guy in my class who came from Vance had a great time, and I can totally see that with his personality.
