I retired from the Navy in 1997. After retiring, I held a variety of jobs before being hired in November 1998 as a Recruiting Manager for the US Census Bureau. When Census 2000 came to a close, I was hired by MANTECH International to serve on the staff of COMNAVAIRLANT as a member of the NALCOMIS training and implementation team.
In July 2005, I was hired by Alpha Solutions to serve as a Training Consultant in the N74 Branch of US Fleet Forces (USFF) Command. In October 2006, I was accepted into Civil Service and moved down the hallway to USFF's N40 Readiness Branch to work as a Program Analyst.
VT-31 is one of four aviation training squadrons attached to Training Air Wing FOUR and is one of two advanced multi-engine training squadrons in the Navy.
The squadron has historically trained students from the Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, Air Force and foreign students in all phases of advanced multi-engine flight procedures to include Aircraft Familiarization, Radio Instruments, Airways Navigation, Visual Navigation and Formation flying.
After receiving their "Wings of Gold" or "Silver", the newly designated Military Aviators will head to their particular aircraft, usually a P-3C Orion (Navy), C-130 Hercules (Marine, Coast Guard and Air Force) or HU25 Falcon (Coast Guard).
VT-31 carries a staff composed of approximately 69 officers and 19 enlisted. The squadron utilizes Beechcraft contract maintenance which employs a totally civilian maintenance force. The squadron's primary mission continues to be training Military Aviators.
Upon completion of training students are then qualified designated and winged as aviators in their respective service and then transfer to operational squadrons throughout the world.
