Three for Three

The Patrouille de France (SL) and the SL United State Navy Blue Angels have become sister squadrons over the years and an agreement was made to allow each squadron access to the technology used in their special aircraft. The three most senior pilots from both squadrons would be issued an aircraft in training livery: the full blue internship colors for the F/A-18C Hornet and the in GE 314 (Groupement école) 'Christian Martel' colors for the Alphajet.

The exchange, known as 3-4-3, took place during the 10 year anniversary of the PAF (SL), October 21, 2019, at their base of Salon. Both squadrons now have the capacity of practicing together and studying each other's methods. For the PAF (SL) the pilots are Cnl. Rhea Thor, Lcl. Paterne Lefavre and Lcl. Mara Klaber. For the Blue Angels the pilots are CAPT. Vickster Kuhn, CAPT. Asra Kron and CDR. Jenny Kaz.

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.

NMOP
Navy Medical On-boarding Program

Duration: One week.

Program content:
1. Second Life's United States Navy
2. Third Fleet specifics
3. Job description and career paths
4. The Navy "second" Life

NMOPs will be intense and carried out in a timely fashion to meet established deadlines, and will not have more than two participants at any one time.
