I was trying to join in the late 2000s under the obama downsizing the military pressures
If you aren't going to be your best - find where u can
I didn't go to an academy
there were very limited aviator seats
they really wanted me to go nuke, but I have no interest getting on a boat designed to sink
sometimes i wonder if I made the right decision, but then i look at our bullshit missions over in the ME and am glad I'm not fighting for zog
what you're looking at is totally different
Yeah 2000-today - yikes
USCG is awesome IMO
you'd actually be serving the country
Well you become a DHS LEO basically
Which fits into what i do now
(I do defense)
Thanks for the encouragement
I haven't set a high goal for myself in a few years
I've got plenty of T left, I need to go get this
is this the direct commission program?
Yes
looks like there's not a lot of spots available each year, I'd look into this ASAP
2 selections per year
yea that's what I saw
Some goy on the forums actually put me on to this
I need to commit
do it man
start the process
you arent committed till you sign papers at the end of the process
officer life is pretty comfy
No but I'm not gonna apply halfAssed
no, I understand
If I got it I would take it
I think it's only a 4 year commitment if what i saw is right
4 years is fine with me
my situation was way different
I was looking at an 8 year commitment after 3-4 years of flight school
and i'd be doing non-flying roles
which isn't what i wanted to do
Understudy?
so I was 22-24 looking at committing till i was 35 or so
no, naval flight officer, depending on platform you do different things
