July 20, 201411 yr MC-130H (NAV) Did someone drop MC-130H ie. Talon II Nav straight out of the schoolhouse? That did not used to be allowed...
July 20, 201411 yr With the BUFF, it's dropped as a Nav/EWO position. It says "CSO", the only other aircraft that say that are the U-28 and (I think, I'm pretty sure I've seen it both ways: CSO and Nav/EWO) the MC-130J. There's a push from the flt/cc for the grad to be Nav or EWO based on proficiency/request/personality/the phase of the moon, but it's dependant on what the FTU class needs from what I understand. Like if there's only EWO slots left in the next B-course... But you enter the FTU knowing you'll be living upstairs or downstairs. Also I'm pretty sure that was a Talon EWO drop, not a Nav. Edited for clarity. Amazing how bad your writing is when you've just woken up. Edited July 20, 201411 yr by attakmint

July 27, 201411 yr It was probably a Talon II EWO and they either a) didn't have the heart to tell him he was gonna be an EWO or b) screwed up and put the wrong crew position. Knowing PCola, it's most likely the latter Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
August 18, 201411 yr Class 14-14 MC-130 (Not sure if Nav or EWO or which base) AWACS JSTARS U-28 (Hurlburt) RC-135 EWO x 4 RC-135 NAV x 2 F-15E x 4 BONE x 3 EC-130 EWO x 2 C-130 x 2(Both either guard or reserve) It was a great drop night, everyone seemed to love the drop. More EWO slots than there normally are. Edited September 7, 201411 yr by CDAWG
August 18, 201411 yr That's an incredible drop. I wish ours would have been nearly that good. The first few classes that went through Pensacola had hoooorrrible drops. If the guy who got U-28s has any questions, he can e-mail or pm me anytime.

October 2, 201411 yr I was the one that dropped the Talon II in 14-13. It was an EWO slot, and I was well aware of it; was my # 1.The only NAV's that are allowed to come through T2 school house have prior experience (mostly slick guys). As for the Buff guys, they are dropping CSO and then they find out what position they get a few weeks after graduation (most got their position in SERE about 3 weeks after graduation).

October 15, 201411 yr Does anyone know how long it takes to upgrade to Nav on a Talon? I'm in 15-03 and we drop next month. I had MCs second on my list, but I'm not interested in EWO at all.
October 16, 201411 yr Does anyone know how long it takes to upgrade to Nav on a Talon? I'm in 15-03 and we drop next month. I had MCs second on my list, but I'm not interested in EWO at all. With an attitude like that I'd guess it would take longer than you'd be around the community. The community is very small and guys who get chosen to crosstrain and sit left seat have been watched like a hawk for some time and have a great reputation in the right seat. The goal isn't to dual-qual everyone, but rather to make a CSO who can kick ass at both jobs, not someone mediocre in both or one seat. That's how planes crash. If you aren't interested in both jobs (which are integral to the airplane's mission), I'd seek employment elsewhere.
October 18, 201411 yr With respect, my attitude is one of knowing what I want to do with my career. I'm not familiar with the Talon community which is why I asked the question. I don't do anything half-ass in regards to my career, but your input does help me make a better decision moving forward, and for that I thank you.

December 13, 201410 yr It's about time another AC-130W dropped! It's only been a year...that was me. We have been getting a huge influx of dudes from other communities like the C-130H & the AC-130H so that's why it's been a year.
