Okay i'm a 23 year old college senior at Embry Riddle and trying to figure out what to do. I don't feel as if my passion for flying is enough to want to do the process. I defiently want to be an officer of some sort, maybe something like ATC or something. I'm struggling between the NAVY and Air Force i think. my concerns are that i don't want to have to go out on a ship for 6 months at a time and never get to see my wife and daughter. But i love traveling so as long as they could come with me, i don't care where i am. But i also heard in the Air Force, that you don't get as promoted as fast as in the Navy but you don't have have to be gone all the time. My next concern is the officer programs. Everything i've read on here from people make it sound like you have to be a hard core robot to be an officer. Basically it sounds to me like it's impossible for most people to get in. I have a 3.3 GPA and i'm very physically fit. I haven't taken any tests yet, so i don't know about how hard those are. I'm just trying to find the best branch for me and my family. Thanks for taking time to read this.
