Does anybody know if they've started asking for crew chiefs to join F-35 testing at Eglin? I remeber they did for the F-22 and I wondered if it would hold true. Thanks.

But the Raptor was already in LRIP at the time, wasn't it? There's only been one F-35 built so far.
I have heard that the first jets will undergo testing at Edwards (A) and Pax (B & C). I have not heard Eglin mentioned but that doesn't mean it won't happen.

Well they will have to go to Eglin for climatic testing.
The training mission has been assigned to the 33rd Fighter Wing at Eglin, see this press release:
