Thats pretty bad ass. I didn't have the grades to get into the Air Force Academy so I'll probably go to a UC or state school, major in engineering and hopefully transfer to the Academy. I would love to fly the F-16. This summer, I am going to take my ground school and try to get my pilots liscense while im away at college. Good luck, hope everything works out. And dont drop out, you have a great opportunity to make something happen at that school.

EDIT: Im an idiot

The Air Farce doesn't have F18s. I think they belong to United or something like that. Maybe Southwest?

When the navy sees that you have that kind of talent, they'll give you a full ride...and maybe a scholarship too.

F18s are badass, but the A10 is the beast of beasts.

I have TWO DD214s (someday you'll learn what that is and count the days til you get one)

...don't push up your ship date, change your MOS IMHO.

And yes, you want to swing with the wing.

That was my first choice and I ended up working on Hornets. I rode to Japan and back a in a KC-130 and a KC-10 a couple of times.

Another vote for swing with the wing.:thumbsup:
