Primary Flight Question?

[matt_NFO]

Good evening all,

I was wondering if anyone knows the policy for pinks sheets before PRB/Drop, specifically for marines at NAS Whiting Field (Primary Flight)? I know in API it is two and out (no exceptions), curious if the policy stands though the rest of your training or just in API. Any word is appreciated.

That's a good question for your class adviser.

It used to be 5 cumulative (including API) UNSATs/Pink sheets before wings for a time but those policies change with MATSG, Wing, and Squadron COs... Ask your current command for Marine specific guidance because it's often different by service.

Yeah, ask, because when I went through it was 2 in API or 3 cumulative. Obviously, things change.

Five?!?!

Five?!?!

Yeah that's what I was thinking... Guess there were lower standards back then...

 

[squorch2]

For a while it was nine.

Five?!?!

Yup- five yellow or pink sheets total.

I'm enjoying the tumblr-izing of AW.

Waaaah. Anybody else around for Black Monday in 1991 when the Navy culled a multitude of SNA's - all the way from API to guys waiting to wing - who, although passing, had the lowest NSS's? Ugly times. 5 years later the Navy had a T-notch and deficit of pilots in certain year groups....

There were also the dark times when people with <35 NSS were getting winged left and right.

During my time at VT-86, we instituted an end of block NSS check. Anything less than 35 NSS, was an auto-PRB.
