Service Selection is IN!!!
« on: October 28, 2013, 10:31:44 AM »
So... I know I've been gone for a while. I've been working hard at school, at the battalion, etc, and just don't have time/money for a decent computer lol. But for those who remember me, I really wanted to share the news...

A bit of a background on me: I have wanted to be a Navy pilot for as long as I could possibly remember. I was one of those kids who aw Top Gun as a kid, and it was love at first sight. I joined the Civil Air Patrol when I was 12, got my private pilot's license at 16, and I'm a Midshipman in the Navy right now, commissioning in May. As a midshipman, we get selected for one of 5 main categories of officer, called service selection: Pilot, Naval Flight Officer (Back seat; Think Goose), Surface Warfare Officer (General sailor on a ship), Submarine officer, and Special Warfare.

Friday afternoon, we found out that service selection was in, but they wouldn't tell us what we got. All weekend I couldn't sleep, I couldn't think about anything else. Finally, just a few minutes ago, I was called into my CO's office to find out how I would be spending the rest of my life...











I'M A PILOT!!!

Thanks Karaya! Hopefully in the down time between commissioning and API I'll be able to see y'all in game again! I seem to still be paying for AH though I haven't logged on in over a year... lol

Congrats!! 

Your dream job is not a complete lock yet, you have MUCH to study & learn because your bacon, and probably more depend on it.

I wanted to be a radio op on a P-3 Orion, but I will have to live that dream pricariously through you.
