Michael finished his final events at training squadron VAQ-129. He received his orders to report to the VAQ-140 Patriots in the next few days. (They don't have a website, sorry.) Soon after, Michael's helmet will be painted and taped in the style of Evel Knievel.
VAQ-140 is part of Carrier Air Wing Seven, which is based out of NAS Oceana, Virginia. (VAQ-140 is stationed in Whidbey Island, so we will not be moving anywhere.) Carrier Air Wing Seven is based on the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower: http://www.eisenhower.navy.mil/
Right now, VAQ-140 is tentatively scheduled to deploy in early 2009. Michael will be in and around Oceana during the summer and fall of 2008 for work-ups.
