Thanks man!

You'd be surprised how little I hear that from Southern Californians. The best one I ever got was on Memorial Day and I got pulled over by CHP. The officer actually shook my hand and thanked me... don't think that had ever happened before (and he didn't give me a ticket).

But thanks again! Happy 4th of July!

, 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...

There are 3 pipelines you can go down after primary fixed wing training which are fixed wing jet, fixed wing turboprop, or rotary wing. Fighter slots are generally given to the top guys, but the number of slots per class can vary from class to class, so a lot of it is just luck as well. Unless you're in the top 2 or something.

My dad was an S-3 pilot, which he loved but they're retiring all squadrons soon if it hasn't been done already. I'm finishing up an aerospace engineering major right now and I'm well aware of the studying required to fly military aircraft, as well as the lifestyle. I've talked to a lot of different Navy pilots and even my recruiter was a chopper pilot in the Navy. Most of them say there's a lot of good and a lot of bad to the career, but in general the good parts definitely outweigh the bad.

Awesome! I just wanted to make sure you knew the ins and outs of something like that. I've met too many people that are gung ho to be fighter guys without knowing anything about the lifestyle or the flying. Just wanted to help out a little, I'd hate to see someone go into that blind.

Go Hoovers! I worked on S-3 electronics for 6 years back in the '90's. Nothing like the sound of a giant vacuum cleaner to make you smile!
