####EDIT: Recruiting is Full at this time. We will Repost and upvote when more slots are available.
Looking for 2-4 F/A-18C folks who want to fly as part of a small but growing Virtual Wing. Right now, we are looking to onboard 2-3 players.
We have a Initial Qual Training where we will have you learn our SOPs. We are not looking to make you learn the NATOPS, but rather some simple procedures such as Comms Checks, Nav Checks, Taxi /Line up, Departures both IFR / VFR, AR Rendezvous, Refueling and Exit, Tactical Check ins, Fence in checks and more. In IQT we don't expect you to be an expert in the standards, but we check if you can function as a proper member of the SQ.
After learning the basics, we have a MQT or Mission Qualification Training- This is where we will take you up as two or lead, and we will conduct basic mission training in the various Hornet Mission Sets in a training environment. A Capstone Check ride will be provided where you will demo all the standards and conduct a full mission profile as lead of a 3 - 4 ship.
Finally after jumping through these hoops, you will gain the title of CMR (Combat Mission Ready), but you won't be done there. While we do simulate a Marine Squadron, we train to also fight from the boat! We will teach you all the basics for a proper Case 1 and Case 3 departure and recovery. As well as proper procedure per our SOP for carrier deck ops! If this sounds fun please send me a DM!
We will Train and Onboard folks in cycles and fly "Cruises" or "Deployments" but our goal is to have 8-12 players every week. Currently we have about 5-7. A Good Attitude, a solid sense of humor and the ability to survive some brutal debriefs is a must. But if you have a desire to fly procedure, coordinate and employ as a Squadron, Flight and Element to solve tactical problems and replicate .mil ops.... Then we may be a good place for you!
