Not the Most Glorious Part of the Angels, But Still Critical

The Navy's famed Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Squadron is looking for a few good sailors. Currently accepting applications for the 2005 season, the application deadline for enlisted personnel is April 1, 2004, and selection results will be available no later than June 1, 2004.

All Navy personnel with projected rotation dates in July 2004 through February 2005 are being considered, but others may apply, pending Blue Angels and detailer approval. Personnel selected will normally detach from their present command October 2004 and report in mid-November 2004.

There are open billets at the E-5 and E-6 levels in virtually all aviation ratings. A normal tour of duty is three years and is considered Type 2 sea duty for rotational purposes. Outstanding E-4 performers will be considered.

There are also three E-5 or E-6 yeoman (YN) billets available. YN billets are Type 1 shore duty and only YNs completing a sea duty tour may apply. Application details are outlined in NAVADMIN 298/03.
