Or do you want to paddle around on little rubber boats while others drop bombs on you.Do you want to drop Bombs ...or Life rafts ?
Seriously, there are big differences between the two schools as well as subsequent service. There are definitely pro's and cons to both-- don't think you can go wrong either way.
Considering it at this pointI think that after all these valuable comments from people that have decades of experience, the only thing left to do, is flip the coin
Pick the branch whose uniforms you like more. You're in a good spot either way, congrats!If anyone has any advice or tips I would love to hear it. Thanks!
Just curious does the USNA or USCGA have more aviation slots for graduates? Is the selection for aviation slots the at both academies?
In the Navy, “designation” means officially being designated as a naval aviator, changing the designator from “student naval aviator” given at graduation and commissioning. The designator is a 4-digit code that is assigned to the officer community. A naval aviator (pilot) is 1310; NFO is 1320. A SNA is, I think, 1390 and 1370. The transition point is when the officer earns the wings of gold at a certain point in flight training or is “winged,” and their designator changes. That’s when the obligation period begins.Thank you. Does the coast guard have the same active duty commitment after flight school that the Navy has? I believe is 8 years after designation. I’m assuming designation means being awarded the duty assignment not completion of flight training?
It means ‘section’Also, can any lawyers on the thread enlighten me on what the "§" is in legal documents?
