Narrative:
On ground frequency; I called navy ground. There were 2 sets of 2 F15's taxiing on taxiway a back to their ramp. I requested 'taxi for a departure for runway 22.' I was told by the ground controller to taxi to runway 22 via taxiway C and expedite contact tower. I replied with a request to hover taxi to runway 22 to expedite my clearing the taxiway a for the F15's. I got no reply; so I repeated the request. The reply from ground was to taxi to runway 22 remain below 100 ft. We began to taxi into position on runway 22. As I tuned up navy tower (123.8) I heard the controller telling me to hold short. I was already about 1/2 way onto the runway. A T45 trainer had been cleared to land on runway 22 by tower. We couldn't see the aircraft because it was the same gray as the clouds. The T45 executed a go around and we sidestepped to the sod. The ground controller never issued a hold short clearance that was heard by any of the 3 crew members. If one was issued we did not hear it and; therefore; did not read it back. This should have been caught by a controller. Fortunately; the T45 pilot reacted in time and an incident was avoided.

Title: UH60 PLT HAS A RWY INCURSION ON RWY 22 AT NGB; ACFT ON FINAL EXECUTED A GAR.
Narrative: ON GND FREQ; I CALLED NAVY GND. THERE WERE 2 SETS OF 2 F15'S TAXIING ON TXWY A BACK TO THEIR RAMP. I REQUESTED 'TAXI FOR A DEP FOR RWY 22.' I WAS TOLD BY THE GND CTLR TO TAXI TO RWY 22 VIA TXWY C AND EXPEDITE CONTACT TWR. I REPLIED WITH A REQUEST TO HOVER TAXI TO RWY 22 TO EXPEDITE MY CLRING THE TXWY A FOR THE F15'S. I GOT NO REPLY; SO I REPEATED THE REQUEST. THE REPLY FROM GND WAS TO TAXI TO RWY 22 REMAIN BELOW 100 FT. WE BEGAN TO TAXI INTO POS ON RWY 22. AS I TUNED UP NAVY TWR (123.8) I HEARD THE CTLR TELLING ME TO HOLD SHORT. I WAS ALREADY ABOUT 1/2 WAY ONTO THE RWY. A T45 TRAINER HAD BEEN CLRED TO LAND ON RWY 22 BY TWR. WE COULDN'T SEE THE ACFT BECAUSE IT WAS THE SAME GRAY AS THE CLOUDS. THE T45 EXECUTED A GAR AND WE SIDESTEPPED TO THE SOD. THE GND CTLR NEVER ISSUED A HOLD SHORT CLRNC THAT WAS HEARD BY ANY OF THE 3 CREW MEMBERS. IF ONE WAS ISSUED WE DID NOT HEAR IT AND; THEREFORE; DID NOT READ IT BACK. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT BY A CTLR. FORTUNATELY; THE T45 PLT REACTED IN TIME AND AN INCIDENT WAS AVOIDED.
