Thanks...that's the kind of stuff I was looking for. A lot of rumors are floating around the schoolhouse about the Navs coming off of the RJ or Navs returning to KRND for EWO training. But glad to know I'll be getting right into it. The wife and I were looking at possibly staying onbase. Do you have or heard of any good or bad experiences with onbase housing?

Found out recently that I'll be going to the RC world, as a Nav, and I was hoping to get any info on the RC-Nav lifestyle? If anybody has any current information that would be greatly appreciated.

Blackstang, There aren't anymore WSO boards at OTS. If you want to become a WSO then you'll have to kickass at CSO in Pensacola. When it comes time to filling out your dreamsheet at the end of CSO training, put F-15E #1, be at the top or near the top, and pray there is one in your drop.

Just thought I'd give some updated information. I left IFS last Nov. and currently in the middle of Nav school. First off congrats on getting selected. What is my path geographically? -OTS -> IFS -> Pensacola; You won't be coming down here to Randolph. What is IFS like for CSOs? Do we pilot the aircraft? Is training the same as it is for pilots? -I was in one of the last few classes that had everybody doing the pilot syllabus. Now there is a syllabus for Pilots and Navs. It's only 4 weeks compared to 6. Some of my classmates now did the Nav syllabus and I don't think they did too much flying. More navigating than anything. You definately don't do any soloing anymore but it looks like you'll fly through there with your experience. As far as how to get WSO...follow BQZip01's advice. Do your best and if you end up #1 you'll get your choice as long as timing works out for you. Good luck.

I'm also nav student looking for info on the Buff. Is the RTU 7 months for pilots and navs or just for pilots? Also how long does it take move from nav to radar nav? Thanks.
