Just to share, any specific dates, cruise length, type of location (NAS or vessel) or port/location for one midshipman may vary from yours. It's not like Cortramid East et al. which is more easy to confirm./extrapolate. You'll receive the details in your orders, which may come to you with as little as 48 hours advanced notice - really varies by who is coordinating your travel. Your unit travel coordinator or chain of command may have additional details to share if you care to inquire which may be more specific than the general phase window.Good evening, does anyone have any updates on the chosen dates for phase 1 of aviation selections?
thank you for responding. this info is for cortramid which is not the same as summer for C2, I've been just told. thx again.Just to share, any specific dates, cruise length, type of location (NAS or vessel) or port/location for one midshipman may vary from yours.

sorry I should have been clearer, this is for a rising 1/C. thank youUnless it's changed since I've gone through, aviation cruises are for rising 1/C's only. Rising 2/C's go on a ship or submarine
ah, ok. A rising 1/c is heading into their final year of NROTC training before commissioning, and will attend a first class cruise before starting their 1/c year. You have general phase dates - Any specific dates, cruise length, type of location or port/location for one midshipman in any phase may vary from yours for a first-class cruise. in my DS' year, during the same phase, arrival/ departure dates had some variation, and locations varied - some went to Whidbey Island NAS, some went to San Diego NAS, others elsewhere with a helo squadron elsewhere. 10 or so midshipmen even went to Japan for an exchange. Within those going to places like Whidbey, there was further variation as some were assigned to a P8 squadron and others flew with an E/F 18 squadron. Others went up elsewhere (edited to remove In San Diego since that's incorrect) in the T6 texan.sorry I should have been clearer, this is for a rising 1/C. thank you
San Diego has T-6s now? that must be new... we don't det out to El Centro in Primaryah, ok.

Actually, no, they don't. I apologize, stand corrected and updated the post. Thanks for the heads-up. There are approx 245 Navy T-6Bs serving the Chief of Naval Air Training at NAS Whiting Field and NAS Corpus Christi, Texas. Six additional T-6B aircraft are stationed at the U.S. Navy Test Pilot School in NAS Patuxent River, Maryland. I pinged the fellow parent who said their midn flew the texan at their 1/c summer cruise to confirm their location of where that training took place.San Diego has T-6s now? that must be new... we don't det out to El Centro in Primary
Probably Pax River, or maybe that unit det'd somewhere, and the mid flew in a T-6. We're super busy with our T-6s in primary, sometimes we don't have enough for students it seems like, much less a flight for a midshipman...Actually, no, they don't.
