helo08 Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 I want to know what some of your thoughts on the navy flight program. Anyone chime in I would like all comments and thoughts. If you have experience in the Navy flight program that would be great? Quote
helo08 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Posted January 30, 2008 Sorry for the double post I'm really not sure what happened Quote
Velocipede Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Personally, I enjoyed my Navy time, but if I had it to do all over again, I'd have gone for the Air Force. Quote
helo08 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Posted January 31, 2008 What was your goal to get out of the Navy though? Were you there to fly? Quote
Velocipede Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 What was your goal to get out of the Navy though? Were you there to fly? I joined the military to get the ratings to become an airline pilot. Originally, I wanted to fly P-3s or C-130s. However, when pipeline time came around, there were only helicopter billets available. So I ended up in H-46s. My second tour, I went to an air station that was so short of fixed wing pilots they checked me out in the C-12. From there I flew CV-580s and DC-9s. Now I'm a 737 Captain at a major airline. Tell you what, though. If they offered me a full early retirement, I'd take the money and go fly helicopters again out in the GOM or somewhere else. Quote
