The Summer Cruise 09 Thread.

[FormerRecruitingGuru]

The two aviation-cruise mids in my unit just got their orders today. One is going to VFA-122 and the other is going VP Hawaii.

Interesting to see that it's not just helo slots being offered (no offense to helo bubbas here).

Not a NROTC guy here but I figured I'd post anyway - I got Block I (which, I assume is your guys' phase I - it's late May through mid June) at HSL-44 out of Mayport. I'm pretty pumped.

Anyone else going to be in that squadron or in Mayport during that time?

I'll be in Mayport on a surface cruise with a unit buddy.

Sooo I got HSC-2 in Phase II.

Not sure what that means. But at least its aviation!

Unfortunately, ATG lost my swim qual (again) so before I can do survival school I have to yell at them about it.

Changed to HSL in Japan now... really stoked. Any gouge? Easy to see the sights?

Just found out I'm hookin' up with HSM-41 for phase 2. Anyone else going to be down there?

I'm with HSM-41 phase II as well. Should be a good time.

I'll see you both here...

PM me if you have any questions.

There are multiple threads about stuff to do in Japan. I was only in Yoko for a night, we took the train into Tokyo- f'n awesome. Have fun.

My classmate did HSL-51 last summer and he had a blast. Besides flight time, he got to hang out with the pilots all over Japan and even took a weekend to hop on over to Korea and visit the DMZ.

Edit: Just talked to classmate, he says watch out for the "Ambiguously Gay Duo" at -51, whatever the hell that means.

For the record, the Mids I am with and I are all having an awesome time with HSL-44.

Just got back from a Block 0 Aviation Ashore cruise with VFA-211 in Oceana. Flew twice w/ VFA-106. Six weeks of leave, and then PROTRAMID East.

Been a great summer thus far!

I am learning how much funding and flight hours squadrons have... but am also having a great time. It's great being out of the ROTC nonsense and in the real Navy for a bit. My NROTC turned into a SWO factory for the last year... so for all of the disenchanted freshman/sophomores/juniors... there is light at the end - and it is glorious. Deep down, though, I have to come to grips with having to give back a flight suit for another year of khakis.

Does anyone who requested 3rd phase West Coast Surface Nuke know when/where their cruise is yet? (2/c)

 

[FormerRecruitingGuru]

Any Mids get kicked out for stupidity yet?
