Pilot7576,
I was in Brunswick for my JO tour and am currently instructing with the canadians on their P-3(CP140). It's hard to see the guys here in canada staying in for 20 years as a LT and the US NAVY say "to bad it's your turn to go". A lot of wasted talent. My sqaudron started to see alot of the retreads from other communities and we seem to eat our young by giving them the good jobs just because they are now up for promotion. Thats when I said no thanks to the VP community. Down to 30 pilots and NFOS with little to no flying. Some of my friends say that on a deployment that I got 400 hours on 2 years early, they are luck to make the minimums to stay flying. They are falling apart and will continue to until the MMA comes. Brunswick is now closing in 2008 and moving to Jacksonville and 3 of the 6 reserve squadrons are decommisioning because all of their planes are now in with the regular squadrons. Well I'll get off my soap box. Safe flying.
