The non-vol list came out and it's either that or C-17 FTU at lovely Altus OK. ah...choices.

Any Global Hawk dudes out there care to answer a few quick questions? - how long is an assignment to Beale? - how much TDY a year (I hear about 45-60 days a year) - how far is Sacramento from Beale - traffic issues? - how many hours do you work a day (I've heard 4-6 hour shifts) Thanks for any info!

Hi, I'm a C-17 IP at CHS looking for a little gouge... to those currently at Little Rock AFB flying the 130J - they're searching Charleston for 2 C-17 Airdrop ACs to go fly the 130J...I understand from searching through a myriad of 130j posts on this forum that the training is for 6 months (fam/msn), and I've got a handle on what living in Little Rock is like for that time. My questions specifically though are ---> 1) Is the 130J operational and flying around the desert? (excuse my ignorance please...google and wikipedia just aren't cutting it these days) 2) If so, do the 130Js deploy as much as the 130Es out there currently? (ie. 4 on 4 off) 3) Finally, does anyone know why the 130J community in Little Rock would want C-17 guys to crossflow? I get the hud, no nav/fe similarities, but after that I'm drawing blanks. Many thanks for any replies...PM me if you'd like. Fly safe!
