Community Values • 1st Sea tour • Tactical performance • EP breakout • 1st Shore tour • Production sources are highly valued • Important to compete and break out in a large summary group • 2nd Sea tour • Broaden your horizons • Earn a qualification if available • Competitive EP even better • Post-DH tour • Best performers detailed to demanding follow-on jobs, inside/outside the community • All Post DHs are important to the NAE • OVERALL • SUSTAINED SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE • Diversity of assignments; get out of your comfort zone • Do the hard job
Detailing Process • Detailer: • Represents the needs of the Officer, be your advocate • Answer your questions, eliminate misinformation • Provide options and guidance so that you can make an educated decision • Goal is to keep all Aviators on track for O-5 • Placement: • Represents the needs of the command • Goal is to keep the command manned at the optimal level Placement Officer CO/XO JO Detailer Detailer vs Placement What’s the difference?
Detailing Process Triad of Detailing • Big picture • Your responsibility • Our responsibility • Writing orders Officer’s Desires CareerProgression Needs of the Navy
Detailing Timeline 12 - 15 months out • Start thinking about your preferences • COC provides options and guidance • Realistic expectations based on performance, job availability, needs of the Navy 9 - 12 months out • Communicate preferences to your Detailer (job, location, flying, non-flying) ; e-mail is preferred • Ask questions so that you can make an educated decision • We will respond back to you, ideally in less than 1-2 weeks. Please be patient as some questions require research and priority goes to those working orders closest to their PRD. Check back if you aren’t getting a response. 6 - 9 months • Commit to a job • We will propose you to a command as required for nominative jobs • Coordinate training track, detach and report dates 2 - 4 months • Orders released on BOL and message traffic Confused or on the fence? Call us and we will explain your options. No contact by 6 months is bad!
1st Shore Tour - Flying • FRS, WWS, NSAWC, HSC-84/85, VX-1, HTs, VTs : (production slide to follow) • Station SAR: China Lake, Fallon, Key West, Whidbey, Pax River, Lemoore; filled by detailer, timing sensitive • PEP (Pilot Exchange Program): vetting process, some require DLAB, timing sensitive, some are sea duty • DCMA: Stratford, CT and Owego, NY; vetting process • C-12/C-26: GITMO, Misawa, Atsugi, Okinawa, Kauai, Naples, Sigonella; filled by detailers, timing sensitive • TPS: (slide to follow)
PRODUCTION • 4 Selection rounds/year • February (June, July, August PRDs) • May (September, October, November PRDs) • August (December, January, February PRDs) • November (March, April, May PRDs) • Work with your XO to submit a nomination package • Fill it out to the max extent practical • One chance to apply • BUPERS takes the input from your CO and the CO of the gaining commands (FRS/WS/NSAWC/HSC-84/85) and creates a slate based on those inputs and BUPERS requirements
TPS • 2 Selection boards/year (Feb and Aug) • 5 Major Programs • US Naval Test Pilot School (Patuxent River, MD Pilots & NFOs from all communities – 2 classes/year) • US Air Force Test Pilot School TACAIR only • British Empire Test Pilot School RAF Boscombe Down, UK 1 “best qualified” aviator/year • French Test Pilot School 1 “best qualified” aviator every ~3 years French language training provided prior to reporting • Naval Postgraduate School (NPS)/USNTPS Cooperative no longer an option • Upon completion of TPS, expect a 24-month tour at HX-21
TPS Considerations • Quality time in Fleet squadron is critical – Demonstrate sustained superior performance – At least 1 competitive EP – Earn all quals available (e.g., NATOPS Instructor, FCP, etc.) • Strong technical undergraduate record helps • Consider timing carefully – Leave Fleet squadron NET EP FITREP & fully qualified – Must have enough time to complete TPS and 24 month follow-on project officer tour • Be persistent – Quotas, board membership, competition change from board to board – Failure to select does not necessarily mean not qualified
1st Shore Tour Non-Flying • Flag Aide • Community wing (few flying billets) • Naval Recruiting District • Naval Postgraduate School • USNA • NROTC (slide to follow) • DC: most jobs are nominative (OPNAV, OLA, SPAWAR) • Major Staffs (CONUS, OCONUS) • Olmsted Scholarships (~5 per year)
ROTC • If you are interested, contact your detailer 9-12 months out, be prepared to submit your college transcripts. Most schools require a 3.0 undergrad GPA. • We will provide you with all available schools that fit your PRD +/-3 months. • School openings are based on the rotation of the current aviator on board that school. • We have an Aviation NROTC board 2-3 times a year depending on the openings available. • The board is comprised of all the Aviation detailers and considers your academic and military record, preferences, and PRD to develop a NROTC slate. • Following the board, we will propose you to the school and they will review your record; they may do a phone interview. Once we have positive confirmation from the school, we will release your orders.
