The next move in a standard career is a disassociated sea tour, which usually involves being part of a staff or ships company and is often non-flying.

If you want to stay in the cockpit, you need to start exploring "other" paths like reserves, Coast Guard DCA, and the like. I have seen a lot of guys transition from a less than stellar Tacair tour into an above average tour in another community, but timing isn't on your side when it comes to Navy detailing.
Gotcha, you would have to do it as your shore tour correct? With all the money they spent on him you think it would be smarter to recoup some of the cost.
