Summary of the RAG (FRS)

- Start date
Don't rule the Prowler out yet. There's still a chance that you could do your first fleet tour in an EA-6, as they'll be around until 2012-2013 timeframe. By the time you're done at 86, the first Growler squadron will not yet have finished its transition (won't even start until next spring) - food for thought.

Thanks Brett. I was looking for a transition date but couldnt find one.
There isn't one discrete date. It will occur gradually, one squadron at a time, between mid-'09 and the '12-'13 timeframe.

Sounds good. Thanks again. Just focusing on getting thru right now, but trying to think ahead to.
Learn the T39, build your RN & LL charts, and don't screw up the comms. You'll learn the rest just by talking to your instructors on some of the longer transits. I'm sure that would be a good head start for now. At least you don't just have PFPS (it's all JMPS now, isn't it?)
Pfps? Jmps?
oh, i see, falconview? i used that in the fleet before I went officer. good stuff. i think its still falconview from what ive heard.
I remember hearing something about switching to jmps about the time I finished my last charts here, but that was ~ last november.
There's a few things you still use Falconview for now... but JMPS is the program of choice largely b/c you can jam it directly into the jet's mission computers (so the route you planned on your laptop magically appears in all your displays, in layman's terms).
Arkansas-- while the single-seat guys may be able to offer a lot in terms of specific knowledge of the jet, I would pay little to no attention to what they say about your role as a WSO in the -18. I could go on and on about this... but really.. they're happy flying by themselves in the Hornet. You won't convince them otherwise.
