Who's in the Military?

Mike · 05-24-2010, 02:14 PM

what really surprised me was that while my wife and I were vacationing in San Diego last Halloween, whe met a young navy gunners mate who had just returned from a year in Afghanistan. Never thought we sent our ship types over there.

I'm in a Navy program for college students called BDCP. Already swore in and get paid but don't do anything until I graduate in a year. Then it's off to ocs and a career in aviation.

I want to go down the jet pipeline. If that happens I'd be most likely to fly the super F/A-18 since the new F-35 probably won't begin delivery until just after I finish training. Always possible to fly that later in my career though.

They have a jet pipeline? Likely its a fixed wing or rotary wing pipeline. Fighter slots are givien to the top guys in pilot training, so you gotta studdy your a** off. Just my

, find some Navy fighter pilots, and talk to them about the lifestyle. Everyone thinks the fighter pilot route is badass and exciting, but fighter pilots plan for about 3 hrs for every 1 hour flown, so you can do the math. I recommend keeping your options open. Fixed wing could be a P-3, EA-6B, S-3, etc... all of which would blow IMO... Make sure you do your research...
