Reference paragraph 3-9-3
I'm a mixed bag of RAPCON and Tower, but the Towers I've worked at VFR fighter types were not told to change to departure on the runway, they were told to contact departure when leaving the airspace.
At this tower they tell VFR F-16s to change on the runway and it's cause numerous problems.
All the tower controllers I talk to here keep saying they've always done it, even at other locations.
Curious what other people have seen during their careers.
