SNA's getting a Wings + 10 yr commitment?

They count towards my longivity[sic]...so they really do count.

If you show up to Pensacola saying you've been in the Navy for three years, you need a cockpunch.

Awesome squorch.

Blow me.

(4 years of NROTC that DOESN'T count )

Ya but BDCP WILL show up on his LES as time in service... which = more $$$

I think everyone knows that, but it doesn't change the gheyness saying you've been in 3 years.

By the way, 7 year contract here. I'm sure there's probably some 'FOs on here who were 6 years.

^^

Or if you are real old

NFO = wings +3

Isn't it still 6yrs for 'FOs?

But you also had a college degree paid for...I have a sh!t load of loans. And for the record, I also think it's stupid to go around saying I have 3 years service so that's why I don't do it. So don't kick me in the freaking crotch

To be precise, I believe it was a punch to the crotch (second only to a punch to the throat).

not all of us rotc guys got college paid for....

but, its all cool. I still get the GI bill so it will pay off in the long run.

 

[ZoomByU]

its not like 2 more years is gonna really disuade anyone

 

[VAmookie]

so you see, like i said originally... they dont REALLY count

8 years is plenty enough commitment to buy you a second sea tour. I only owe 13 months after this shore tour, but I will still have to take 2 year sea duty orders. If they extend it to 10 years post wings, that would take you past your No Later Than Department Head date. The navy needs a lot fewer folks for that step in the pyramid, so it would make much sense to have a ten year commitment. The 8 year is more than adequate for their nefarious purposes.
