Blue Angels VIP Ride - Lcl. Paterne Lefavre

 
On August 21, 2019, the Blue Angels gave Lieutenant Colonel Paterne Lefavre, Patrouille de France (SL), the VIP Ride certificate relative to his flight aboard Blue Angel #7 during the 2019 edition of the ID4 Air Show. The French aerobatic squadron was present for the occasion and graced the Blues with a private aerobatic demonstration at NAS Patuxent River. The certificate was handed to Lcl. Lefavre in the Blue Angels operations room at PAX. 

The two sister squadrons have planned an exchange of special aerobatic aircraft in operation, in what is being called the 3-4-3 exchange: three special F/A-18C Hornets in internship colors for three special Alphajets in GE 314 (Groupement école) 'Christian Martel' colors. (see Three for Three!)

Navy Medical On-boarding Program (NMOP)

To integrate Navy medical doctors in Third Fleet structure we have a straight forward hands on program to bring General Schedule personnel into the Fleet's ranks. As in real life, based on the doctor's medical qualifications, entry level pay grade translates from GS-7 to O-1 after the Navy Medical On-boarding Program is completed.

Navy doctors wishing to pursue a Naval Officer Career will be required specific military training to upgrade their status to Flight Surgeon, at which point they will take standard NACCS and/or NA training. Career progression of medical doctors in Third Fleet is thus split into two vectors: normal residency practice and seaborne/airborne practice.

Normal resident doctors will progress based on the same merit and time requirements as the other naval officers in the fleet up to the rank of Lieutenant O-3. Further progression will require the afore mentioned training and will start with the rank of Lieutenant- commander O-4. Chief Medical officers in charge of Third Fleet Sick Bays are required Flight Surgeon status.
