I missed the Papas intentionally. It was my understanding that all the Papas are with the Reserves now (711th SOS) and there are no active duty Papas anymore. Globalsecurity.org is ok, but the info is usually quite dated.
MC-130E Combat Talons belong to the 711th at Duke and are AFRC. The MC-130P is indeed active duty at Eglin, Mildenhall, Kadena, and Kirtland (training). There are also a few Shadows at Moffett Federal that belong to the Guard.

THREAD REVIVAL!!
I'm a nav type finishing up mission qual at Nashville (I was asked to volunteer to leave LR and do my LL flying phase at Nashville) and am going to Shadow follow-on training next month. Just hoping someone currently or recently there could shed some info on how long the training timeline is right now. Are academics/sims taught by civilian instructors and flying taught by AD guys? Is there a lot of free time like there seems to be at LR? I had a Lockheed instructor at Little Rock tell me that the MC school house is a big helmet fire, wondering if this is true? Also, where are people currently staying off base if they refuse government quarters? Just hoping to get some up to date info. Thanks for the help guys!

As other people pointed out, I forgot in include MC-130s on the list. From what they told our class, you can drop MCs as an EWO but not as a nav anymore. Apparently they don't want to take stud navs from the pipeline anymore on MCs after the crash a little while back. We're probably getting 1 MC-130 for the EWOs (our #2 guy wants MCs) and none for navs.
This is not true. I just dropped an MC-130P on the nav side three weeks ago (my class didn't have EWO drops). They also drop the W model about every other class.

Does he have a star now? I'd like to look him up in global, but I don't know about going VFR direct to a General as a 2Lt ;)
No star, he is retiring after he is done at the Academy. Just shoot him an email. I recently did to thank him for all the help he gave me and to let him know that since he left my det I have commissioned and started nav training. He was excited and will probably tell you the same thing he told me..."it makes him happy to see 2Lt after your name." No worries.

Anyone know where Col Mintz is these days? I about crapped myself when I saw him in the video, he was my FTU/CC back at Tyndall.
Col Mintz was my CC back at the det when I was in ROTC. Great guy...he is now the AFROTC NW Region CC at the Academy.
