The E-2/C-2 program quit flying the T-2 around 2000-2001. They switched over the to T-45 TS program (TS=Total System). The selection process is now, carrier air and then branch out from there during T-45 training. I guess they have to do that to keep the C-2 line from getting so long.

I think there's a T-2 at Meridian Key field as well.
USMC you're correct, they now select "Tailhook" out of primary and then during their T-45 training the E-2/C-2 jet split is made. Not sure of the criteria (grades?), I think the split is made after they finish instrument, fam and forms.

What year did the C-2/E-2 VT get rid of its' final T-2C?
What boat did you go to?
I noticed that this T-2C had the Forrestal on its' tail.
I often say that I broke the USS Forrestal. My initial CQ (May '92) was the first and only class I believe to have CQ'ed on the USS Forrestal as THE training carrier. It went back into the yards after that it I remember right and never came out again.

This sounds like you are saying that the selection for the E-2/C-2 pipeline is not after Primary any longer but that the pipeline goes strictly to the jet pipeline and then at some point during this training the cut for E-2/C-2 is made. Is this correct? If so.....at what point and using what criteria?
