My son is soon to complete FRS flying the SH-60B, just wondering what
the future holds when he deploys. Presumably on a cruiser or destroyer.
How do the aviators 'fit' in the ship's responsibilities, typical (if
there is such a thing) deployment lengths, do they get attached to the
same ship all the time or varies depending on need. How many hours of
flight time, frequency of training (SAR, ASW etc) flights?
Just wondering...
Thanks

John

Each one of these questions could take several paragraphs to respond to. I
suggest you identify which squadron he will be reporting to and call the
Public Affairs Officer (PAO) on the phone. If he/she's unwilling to discuss
over an 'open line', then go buy them a cup of coffee and discuss your
concerns in person.

If the PAO is 'clueless' (often the case as it is usually the most junior
Officer) then talk to the Command Master Chief (CMC).
