Good info as always Tanker, but I think posts were referring to flying pilots rather than sailing pilots. My point was if you really want to fly AFA is better, if you really want to sail, MMA(or CG, or NA) is better. And I disagree slightly with KP soccer coach, all SA's require the 4 year commitment (from 17-21), and KP has 5 year sailing requirement, and 8 year reserve requirement. So minimum commitment for KP is 9 years. The only difference, outside the reserve commitment, the KP grad does not go active duty, while the other SA grads do.
I realize what type of pilots the individuals were posting about, I was attempting to expose them to something new.
The 5 year sailing commitment is concurrent with the navy reserve commitment. It's 5 years
of doing 2 week ATs followed by 3 years in the inactive reserve/IRR.
You do realize that graduating from another service academy that you incur a 5 year commitment followed by 3 years in the IRR?
