Average NSS score range for aircraft selection

Getting back to this three months later...thanks for the advice! I am currently in the process of studying for the ASTB, so this piece of being humble is great. It's a totally different mindset currently for me from "I want to fly X aircraft" to "I just want the chance and get my foot in the door."

Hold on to that attitude. If you let it, flight school can be tons and tons of fun.

Yeah, I agree. I'm not sure what his preferences were out of Primary...but if it was helos all along, he should have gone straight to the HT's (and probably on a much abbreviated syllabus).

In the days before COPT-R, the idea of wanting to select helos from the beginning wasn't even in the consciousness, so a (insert non-prior Naval officer) still has to go through the basics that form the foundation later on in the jet world (precision landing, forms, aerobatics, etc).

I think the guy I went through training with ended up selecting jets.
