After that; more specialized follow on training is joint if the aircraft are common across both services. Which service has the training house depends on which service uses the asset the most. For example: All F/A-18 training squadrons are USN squadrons. USN and USMC pilots train side by side as do all maintenance personnel. All USN and USMC UH-1 and AH-1 pilots train in a USMC squadron as do maintenance personnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 It's been that way for awhile. My dad earned his Navy wings in 1951 but didn't transition to jets until 1956 at El Toro, CA which was a Marine Corps facility at that time. Navy and Marine Corps follow the same syllabus and wear the same wings upon graduation. Thx for the Youtube post, Marshal. Looks interesting.

Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I was trained as a Aviation Ordnance Technician at NAS Memphis back in the 80s. Marines and sailors had their own separate Units, barracks, and Command, but the training was common, and classes were mixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was stationed at NAS Lemoore Ca going through the FRAMP school there were Marines and Sailors in the same classes. However, the Marines had their own Barracks and Command.

Del Rio Pete Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Watched the entire video. Very interesting and educational. Lots of changes over 100+ years. Bravery of the pilots has not changed. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
