B0neWs0 Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 12-08 was my class's drop and the EC's that dropped did not give a position. All in all everyone was pleased, most got their first or second choice.
ExBoneOSO Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) I was in 95-08 for reference. Yeah, I'm old. No, I'M old..I was in 85-01...and my instructors learned to fly in the T-29 Edited April 1, 2012 by ExBoneOSO 1
Disco_Nav963 Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 No, I'M old..I was in 85-01...and my instructors learned to fly in the T-29 And the Bone was still single-seat qualing their WSOs...
TAMInated Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Gets to be in the air, and not stuck in a booth. Good point. At least I'm not a nav though. 1
ExBoneOSO Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 And the Bone was still single-seat qualing their WSOs... Yeah I just missed out on that - I left the Bone right after the move to ACC. Like they say, "timing is everything".
dsul413 Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 dsul413 is right, the classification of the U-28 mission has changed recently, but no one (including myself) really wants to be the first one kicked in the nuts for talking about stuff on the internet. There is more info out there both SIPR obviously as well as unclass now if you're really interested and take the time to do the looking. BL is that IMHO the U-28 has a great mission and the CSO gets to do a lot of things that are somewhat unique when compared to what a nav/EWO/WSO typically does on other platforms. Congrats on that last drop, that looked really, really legit all around. If any of the U-28 dudes are on here from that class, PM me if you want more info ahead of getting your orders to HRT. Agreed. I certainly don't want to be. Same goes for me, feel free to hit me up.

ATIS Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Nice drop for the double anchor (Navy slang) types. Cheers ATIS
nolandaman Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 It was actually a pretty disappointing drop for a lot of people. There were quite a few that ended up with something that wasn't even on their list.
OregonHerc Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 12-10 Drop: Etc, etc etc Any of the three AC's coming to the W?
nsplayr Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 It was actually a pretty disappointing drop for a lot of people. There were quite a few that ended up with something that wasn't even on their list. Sucks for them but man, pretty much no one has room to complain too much. Of the 21 assignments given out, 16 of them I'd rate pretty highly based on knowing dudes sitting in all those places and airframes. Not sure what those guys wanted but hopefully people will be pleasantly surprised...

nolandaman Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Any of the three AC's coming to the W? I believe one of them was. Sucks for them but man, pretty much no one has room to complain too much. Of the 21 assignments given out, 16 of them I'd rate pretty highly based on knowing dudes sitting in all those places and airframes. Not sure what those guys wanted but hopefully people will be pleasantly surprised... I think more than anything people were just really surprised. We had people that wanted Buffs and RC-135's which are generally available if you want them. The Buff guys ended up getting AC-130's so they are excited about a great airframe, just surprised that they didn't get Buffs. I'm curious what the five airframes or places are that you wouldn't rate highly?

Cliff Clavin Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 12-11's Drop: 4x B-52 2x B-1 3x F-15E 1x EC-130 (NAV) 2x KC-135 4x C-130 (2 Little Rock, 1 Peterson, 1 Yokota) 4x RC-135 (2 EWO, 2 NAV) 1x U-28 2x MC-130 (1 Kadena EWO, 1 Guard Duke Field EWO) Most of the class got their first or second choice. We were all pretty pleased. 1
bronxbomber252 Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Sweet drop! and all the AFSOC guys managed to stay out of Af-Cannon-Stan!
OregonHerc Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Sweet drop! and all the AFSOC guys managed to stay out of Af-Cannon-Stan! Until they move the U-28s there. 1
Van1 Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 What's with all the KC-135 slots in these nav drops? I thought they got rid of the nav 14 years ago.
bronxbomber252 Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 The unit at McConnell still has them. They use Nav's for SOAR.
nsplayr Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Until they move the U-28s there. Bite your tounge! Rumors are swirling but it's not like it's happening next week so for now those guys can be happy to avoid Cannon too.
