Hello everyone. I want to start by thanking everyone who posts thoughtful advice and guidance on this forum. I hope to do the same and be helpful.
I have read as many threads/posts as I could find about the positives and negatives of both USAFA and USNA. Still not enough to convincingly say I want X. Fortunate to have been offered a spot at both. So...I am hoping others will chime in and offer some advice.
Willing to work hard to achieve the following career aspirations:
- serve as an aviator. Fixed wing, faster the better. As a pilot, wouldn't mind operating off of land or a boat.
- Will study aerospace engineering. Would like to pursue an advance degree in the same field. Eventually, depending on many things...
- Ultimately become an astronaut or a test pilot and put my engineering background to use
What SA would provide the best opportunities such as internships closely related to my field of study, academic rigor, opportunities for a related advance degree, chances to become an aviator, etc.?
Thank you so much.
