See, he's got plenty of time, the waiting is the worst part. Just go for it, and if you get rejected apply again, they say on here that lots don't make it til their second or third try. I don't even think it should take that long.
A4, I submit that not everyone has their head together about why they want to be a naval aviator when they decide to join. I personally wanted to make sure I wasn't just thinking of Top Gun, so I had to think about it awhile, have my dedication tested a couple times, etc.
i agree, despite my sarcasm about top gun earlier, i really want to know exactly what i'm getting into before i commit, bc once i do i'm not turning back. i take the commitment very seriously and i don't want to join unless i'm certain. i think a few months should be enough though, i've been reading books and online stuff to try to get an accurate view of what it is like and what kind of people excel at it.
Been hanging around with Joboy lately?
I really hate to be the spelling/grammar police, but how about committing to properly capitalizing your "I"'s? Is it that hard to hit the shift key?
Damn right. SWOs know all about the 'motion of the ocean'.
Besides, as I stated in another thread, what girl doesn't like shoes??
Right, he does have some "time" ... but a "few months" isn't much time when considering a career when the clock is ticking, as I am sure you would agree. I suppose my perspective is a little slanted since I knew what I wanted to do when I was 7 years old and nothing got in the way of my goals.
Right again, everyone doesn't have their head together viz a vie Naval Aviation. Those folks frequently don't do well and many don't finish the program. One of the primary reasons is they are not "committed" from the get-go. Naval Aviation is the top of the stack; and as such it requires dedication, commitment (there's that word, again), physical ability, mental toughness, and persistence in order to achieve a satisfactory measure of success.
It's not for the "undecided" nor the faint of heart. You "join" the Navy -- or Goldman Sachs -- you become a Naval Aviator only if you meet the standards and have the right stuff. You gotta want it ....
But best of luck to both of you guys.

I know this is pretty cliche', but I've always heard to "do what makes your heart sing and the money will follow."
I'm sure y'all can come up with a male rendition of this quote.
I just know that if you're doing what you REALLY want to do, it'll all work out. Yes, finances can be an issue, but it's really about discipline.

The money's pretty good as you get up there in NA, plus you can't put a price on loving your job, I would think...
Ah, see we have different ideas of what "a long time" means. I guess in my opinion a few months should be enough time. That makes me feel better.
Plus, for me it was scary how few doubts I had, so for awhile I was scared that I was just infatuated with the idea...I can understand wanting to verify one's strong feelings in this case.
Thanks for the luck!

Just wanting to emphasize how stupid money is once you get past the point of fulfilling your needs. I mean you get to the point where your just buying stuff cause you have money. Or you could wake up and say, hmm today i'm gonna go kick some tail. Instead of hmmm i'm gonna go to pier 1 and buy some lame crap for the house then go to my coke party later and get an STD.
They say $40,000 is all a bachelor really ever needs to be completely satisfied financially so that sounds good to me. Anything more is greed (excluded paying back school loans in this argument).
Well that's my rant for the morning, i'm a little wired as I am supposedly finding out if I have gotten in today or tomorrow. Pins and needles, pins and needles here.

If you think $40K is all you need, feel free to send me any you make above that.

The only thing that I'd offer to this discussion is that if you are currently on the ADD drugs now, and are "willing" to go off them if you get commissioned, drop them now. The more time you're off them, the better your application will get...

Oh, so you're the guy that likes to place his head on my mom's bosoms and listen to her sing Xmas songs. Just cute.

Yes, I actually do have a doctorate. I was in school for seven years and I had a couple of scholarships and waivers along the way but you have to factor in the tuition, insurance, cost of books, living expenses, and ebay addiction.
