I just notice this posting on the BaseOps website:
http://www.flyingsquadron.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13244
Folks, these are "our" people posting on a pilot website. Maybe we need to adapt this website to meet their needs. Just on this topic, there were 8
posts in 2 days, granted one or two were non-Nav's.
Are we missing our audiance? Here is another post:
"Thats the choice - HC-130s or Buffs - and I have till this weekend to make a decision. I have a bunch of info on Buffs - but I need as much as possible
on HC's (search funciton used). There is no one here at Randolph that is HC's, or Shadows for that matter."
I noticed that the BaseOps site has information for those in UPT (or whatever student pilot training is called these days) and for those going to multi-engine
aircraft.
I'm not saying we should imitate the whole BaseOps website, but maybe we could focus a little on nav's in training. Do we have anybody that is closely
associated with the nav training program that could provide some basic information about recent assignments out of nav training and overviews of the missions
of the various aircraft (with Op Sec being observed of course)? If we could get this started, I think the new nav's would use this as their sounding
board.
Thoughts, suggestions?

That is why this board has existed since 2004. All Navs are welcome and hopefully they will warm up to this board. Anyone a member of the BaseOps want to
direct some questions towards this board?

Interesting site. I think that a similar site on the AFNOA site would be beneficial. I have two main reasons, as to why this would be paramount.
1) To encourage the "new" CSO's to become members; and plot a course for the future of AFNOA. 2) To provide us "old" Nav's with current information and insight as to where the new program is going. I don't see how this could fail, as long as we had a representative at the school house to assist in promoting it. Have a great weekend! Kurt Mather 80-01 |

Kurt,
I might be missing something. What more do I need to add to the AFNOA website to make it like the flyingsquadron.com squadron bar? It would be great if a CSO added comments here. Tim |

Tim,
You are doing an incredible job! Do we have any CSO Instructor's that are member's? If not, can we get in touch with one of them, and inquire if they would like to become a member and get involved? I would be willing to get in contact with some of the CSO staff and get this rolling. I don't think anything needs to be added. Just participation. Thanks! Kurt Mather 80-01 |

Current RJ EWO. This is a great website. I can answer questions y'all have; that is when I am home, which is not often.
Thanks |

Please pass along this blog spot to any and all Navs of any type to use this as a communications tool. As the AFNOA Historian I can tell you first hand, Navs
are a quiet bunch! We're working on them to tell their story. So yes we need any and all to link us up!
Of importance to us all right now (while there are a good number around still) is to record all we can. So please get your info-bios-stories to us. In the mill this very moment is the Second Edition of the AF Navigators Observers History book. This is a Navigator's History book, as told by Navs (of all types) to include a section on all of our prior technologies & aids. Additionally you can add your own  bio to this effort with two pictures. Contact me at ronaldpbarrett@yahoo.com for full details. Thanks, Ron Barrett, USAF Ret. AFNOA Historian
