OMG!!!!! I've been looking around the posts all day, trying to figure out what the heck you were talking about in the private spouses corner!!!!!! I'm feel soooo retarded!!!! I'm sooooooo excited for you....yeah, you wouldn't have a problem with Nuke with an engineering undergrad, a physics and engineering masters, plus you're working on your engineering PhD....

Um... who's she talking to? Maybe I missed something.

SFGirlfriend has been thinking about joinging the Navy for a while now..... she and I were talking about it this weekend when I was visiting her. I'm just really glad she's joining...she's like a sister too me.

Word from our XO is that the Navy commissioned 200 more people than they needed this past May for pilot training. I've heard the same about the need for FO's and Nukes. Apparently Spec Warfare is an option they are encouraging more and more, atleast here at Mizzou.

I was wondering how long before the backlog clears up. Or is the Navy ultimatly going to decide that they dont need as many aviators and flight officers as they did in the past? Is it possible that with the FAA regs on maximum age for flying for the airlines will create a huge vacany when the baby boom generation hits that mark? Just trying to catch the wave at the right point.

Again,
NO ONE is going to be able to answer this with FACT. I am sure plenty of people will have their own opinion, but there is NO WAY to estimate how long the back log will last.

As for the airline gig, don't know, don't care.

I heard the Navy isn't looking for any pilots right now. However, my recruiter told me I had a 98% chance I wouldn't get in.......I am getting sworn in on Friday.

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Damn straight! and hell of a good quote.

Balls to the wall man, and if you don't get what you want the first time... guess what? Yup, there's another class right around the corner.
