I think those are just about the only choices left these days haha. Try for jax, cost of living is dumb cheap here and theres quite a bit to do if you have a family or if you don't. Jacksonville is almost like several different cities merged into one so you get different areas with different things to offer. You can rent a 2 or 3 bedroom house in the Riverside district for around $700 to $800 p/month and it was voted one of America's top 10 neighborhoods.

I can't see there being any truth to this rumor. Especially since the Navy could just pull back all the P-3 pilots doing non-flying tours and put them back in the cockpit. I for one would do another flying tour vice flying a desk.

My buddy is the training officer for the reserve squadron in Jax. He said they can't get enough guys to apply for their squadron. This last board they hired a 15 year O-3 who hadn't flown in over 10 years and a former Army Helo pilot.
