Well, I went to the CVW this weekend at USNA. I was fighting between AF and Navy and walked in with a very open mind.
Sorry to say, I was truly disappointed. I enjoyed the Academy life very much, but it's the Navy that steered me away. I have always wanted to fly cargo transport, and I was put under the impression that that is very unlikely in the Navy. The 1/C midshipmen were choosing their service this prior weekend, and the way they all talked, they have four main options: Marines, surface warfare, submarines, or fighter jets.
I just don't think the Navy can offer me what I truly want. I feel the AF can give me a much better flying education. I returned home very disappointed, but I was okay because I now realize that the Navy isn't for me. That now eliminates two of my four college decisions, because NROTC is now out, also. I have nothing against the US Navy or the Academy. I just feel they can't offer me what career I truly want.
So, with that, I will go into my nomination interviews over the next few weeks specifically asking for an Air Force Academy nomination. Hopefully, everything pans out okay, and I am happy that I went on the CVW and was able to make a far more educated decision.
Oh, and GO NAVY! BEAT DELAWARE! 35-18!
