I am just wondering if anyone knows which report dates for the airman program have already had orders given out? My husband is on the list (as of right now, he is the lowest number with no holds) and we are just curious what the possible report dates would be. Thanks so much!
I have been checking out that site, I just don't know which dates have already had orders. Have orders been given out for the September report date? How about October? We are just trying to do a little planning, what with a baby on the way and whatnot. Thanks!
I've seen orders recently for the August AMT class so I would say September hasn't been done yet since they are done by the same guy. If you husband has no NPY or ADM next to his name, on that alone he will bypass all the unfortunate folks who are hung up with physicals or administrative snafu's. It's hard to say how far down the list they will go but since he is ready to go, that will bode in his favor. I just looked at the list and if your husband is on the CGC Campbell, he will be the first one to get orders to the next class.
Thanks, he got orders, he was on the Campbell! We are heading to Cape Cod in a month and its FANTASTIC because its only a few hours from my family and I am due to have my baby in December.
I know this is off topic, but on that link above, it states that "All Aviation candidates must be able to swim a required, 75yrds and tread water for 2 minutes as per the AIROPS Manual (COMDINST M3710 series)". Am i confusing the requirements or is that less than the required bootcamp swim minimums?
Yes it is different than boot camp, the Basic swim test for Aviation requires all to swim the 75 yards in flight suit, along with weighted vest, and helmet, and boots. Not difficult if you are a good swimmer to begin with. I’ve seen a lot of people struggle with this every year. Most would do better if they could be relaxed and breathe slower.
