I'm just another guy pining for an SNA slot. I actually hate seeing fighters fly anywhere in my sight, or hearing them for that matter. I nearly turn green with envy, I actually get a little mad.
I've got a few questions regarding my degree and how my overall college plan is going to pan out.
I've been attending ERAU Prescott for a year and a half now. I started as AFROTC, Aeronautical Science (Commercial Pilot). Within the first semester at school I found out the Air Force was not for me. Nothing wrong with the branch other than the large amount of toolbags I wouldn't trust in a combat situation even if you payed me a large sum of money. The major wasn't exactly my cup of tea either; I love to fly but I'd like a degree that qualifies me for more than flight. The flight program here at ERAU is pretty much engineered to make the most profit off of students. It takes about a year and some extra weeks in the summer to get a Private Pilot's License through Riddle. Absolutely attrocious.
After a year as AS I decided to do Global Security Intelligence Studies because I love history and after the military I'd like to become a history teacher. I also didn't mind the idea of an intelligence type career after the military as well. That all changed. Found out I didn't want the intelligence type career at all, just not for me.
Long story short my grades, for what credits I kept taking, are not good at this point. I dropped a few courses during my time as AS and I'm about to drop one before the end of this semester. This semester I should be solid grade wise.
I've been involved with some student organizations, not a whole lot being that I was just a freshman.
I've decided to leave this school, the only avenue to successfully transfer to another college is to go to a CC for a semester and build credits. I want to take a liberal arts degree, something broad. Right now I'm 90% almost none of my credits here will transfer anywhere. I will be a 20 year old freshman somewhere. I fucked up. I know from here I will need get damn near perfect grades in order to make up for my major fubar of my first one and a half years of college. How does the Navy view this hopping around of schools? I talked to my Marine OSO, he seemed fine with it.(I'm looking into both, the Navy is more realistic for me)
So basically, does degree matter a whole lot to the Navy? Will my transferring of schools and my few early low grades look bad? I'm hoping strong improvement will help the Navy's view of me. I'm prepared to buckle down and work extra hard, this has been my dream as long as I can remember. I wouldn't want my middle school self coming back to beat my ass.
