May 15TH Selection Board

[jt71582]

Yeah... from my limited personal experience and what I've read on here, I don't see many guys who are retiring after 20 years in the Navy still having flying duty before they leave.

True, my uncle's got 5 years left and just recently went to a desk/admin type job.

 

[PigzFly]

Not many flying opportunities after a Command tour. Of course command is typically picked up by O-5's. My dad's co/xo tour was over almost 4 years ago. Hes only been in 22 years total. Now hes flying a desk. I dont really know about the reason for the increase, but it could really be anything. It may be that they want to increase the competition, planning on cutting a larger number of guys, or they may be hoping with a larger number of pilots they will receive a larger budget per pilot/aircraft. Who knows

 

[PA-28III]

I was thinking that maybe the increase will be due to the new airframes like EA-18G, P-8 and the F-35.

Just out of curiosity, what does the "probationary period" amount to? Just that you can't get any more tickets? or does that mean they are pending waivers?

congrats, btw.
