Sorry to bump this old thread, but I found this interesting site earlier today, maintained by a former FAA pilot.

it has a copy of his log-book from 1965-1970 in Excel format here:

You can see that it took just under two years from beginning flying training at Linton-on-Ouse to being posted to the OFT at Yeovilton and another year before he even went near a carrier to do deck landing practice in a Sea Vixen.
