T34 Natops

[gregsivers]

60B is pretty hefty, although the WSM is supposedly going away, being abosorbed into NATOPS and the Techman and TACMAN.

We got issued the WSM with out NATOPS when we checked in, and I'm glad I've got it for the ATO phase. They're not issuing it anymore, but the new NATOPS that just came out doesn't have sh!t from the WSM in it. Not sure where it went, but I'm still using the WSM on a daily basis.

Get an account with 4.0 Airworthiness (just google it). All you need is a @navy.mil e-mail address and a general reason to look at the NATOPS. Request comes back in about a day. Have a your senior instructor sign it (or one of the LT in student control or flight management) and fax it back to 4.0 Airworthiness. You should have access to the site within a day or two after that. Then you can access any of the most up-to-date unclassified NATOPS (T-34C latest revision was July of this year) and NATIPS in the library. The PCL and FFCL are also available for viewing. read-only documents on PDF though, so you'll have to print out the EPs (cannot save the documents. No credit for this, came from bryanweatherup.com gouge during the SH-60 RAG. He suggested it as a good way to create study materials without destroying the only copy of the NATOPS that they give you. Good luck shipmate.

Or you could use the new invention they have now called a "copy machine." It also doesn't destroy your pubs.

I've used the NATEC site for my fleet Natops, and it's a great tool, but since you don't get a navy.mil email address in primary, it kind of makes it hard to get in. Still possible if an IP hooks you up.

That's funny. I received my e-mail and NMCI log-in at my stash job before even coming down to NASP. Hmmmm, guess every command is different. New API A-pool checkins are receiving an NMCI account and navy.mil e-mail during the first week or two here. So theoretically it should work if you approach one of the flight management LTs about the signature page. They might laugh at the over-ambition on your part, but shouldn't deny the signature request. Good luck shipmates.

Good, it'll save them from the a$$pain later down the road. God I hate NMCI.

It took me days to get my NMCI account set up, and I was one of the faster ones in class. I agree, its nothing but a pain.
