Military Flying, but no active VSOs?

Hello,

I have been learning about the F/A-18 Super Hornet and all I would like to do is fly around doing realistic training procedures near my home airport of KNUW (Whidbey NAS). According to some docs I found online, I am prohibited from doing so unless I spend months on end training to get accepted into a VSO that may or may not be even active? I looked on the VSO list and there are only two that look interesting, one requires me to train for months (which I don’t want to do) and the other I submitted an application that was never returned. 
 

So lemme get this straight; unless I spend months training and committing countless hours to a VSO with 9 pilots I can not fly my Super Hornet?

You can fly the super hornet from A to B, but you must be a member of a VSO organization to do military maneuvers or sorties. 

You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Do you have any recommendations for Navy VSOs? There aren’t any….
