I went out to Lemoore today for an interview with VFA-14 as part of my Package. Man that place is in BFE.
Anyway the Tophatters were very cool, and quite accommodating. (If any of you -14 guys are viewing this, thanks). I'm not sure how my interview went, but I was lucky to go get to go out there to do it. In addition to setting up an interview panel (including the XO, I'm sure he has better things to do than to grill snot nosed kids, especially with a deployment coming up), two of the pilots took us to the hanger and talked to us for a while. I was reassured to see that, in spite of being busy and probably stressed, they were able to take the time to chat with us and be pretty honest.
Overall, the visit definately put more respect on the table for NA's coming from me.
Thanks to VFA-14, and best of luck on the upcoming deployment.
As a side note, what the hell do you guys do when you're at Lemoore if you are not flying/working?
