Nukumall, I wanted a change and the Navy offered it. I know everyone asks the same question, but I the opportunity to lead from the get-go is very appealing. I work with many AF officers, and I am sad to say that the firat 3-4 years (depending on career field) is spent power-pointing everyone to death. I now some of the same things will occur in the Navy, but i am assured to be on a ship where i will be performing my actual deployed mission day in and day out. Anyway, are you applying Navy or AF?
