Do most Army soldiers want aviation?


Recommended Posts

yeah fighter aircraft would be the best for sure, but i don't think i'd be good enough to get a fighter slot in the AF or Navy. Gotta be top notch. The Army i heard is a lot easier so I'm aiming for that.

ok hold up....I didn't mean that to be offensive although i guess it sounds like that. But lets be honest...i can be an Army pilot right now whereas the AF, Navy you need a 4 yr degree....and sometimes the fighter slots get 60 apps for 1 slot.

 

I'm not saying its easy. I'm saying its easier. It's the reality. I went through the last board forum on this site, May I think....it was a almost 90% selection. A guy i know in the reserves got in meeting the minimums and he had no degree at all. Just because you don't like hearing it doesnt mean its not true. I have no disrespect toward the Army ...my dad served in vietnam...for only 1 yr in 'nam thank god. And yes I would love to be a fighter pilot but I admit I'm not going to spend my whole life trying to get in either. I would still love to still fly helos especially it if means flying in the near future.

AF, Navy and even Marines are top notch for flying for sure...

 

but the Army isn't too shabby....I understand it's about the mission and that's why Army aviation is important. But i'm sure it's also pretty neat to hover over trees and they do get to wear those cool visors just like the other branches. The apaches helmet gear is pretty awesome with the eyepiece too

I think it's a pilot in the Air Force, Marines or Navy that started off by trying to talk smack on Army Aviation by going back and looking at the first page. Then he just went with it.
