Agreed with the SDN part. I've done my homework. I personally want nothing to do with flight surgery (not interested in playing that 'good ol boys' game, pretending to be a pilot, and I have a mild fear of heights!). Gimme a nice cumfy amphib or send me ground poundin with the Marines. That's based on my own research, much of it done here on SDN (where there already exists plenty of shared experiences, just have to search). Now that's just my own personal preference. Others who do the same homework may arrive at a different preference.

No, was not a SWO. Fair enough. It just bugs me when people log on here to complain about nonsensical things.
Complaining about an unfair infringement on your personal life (for instance, having to deploy many times before some of your colleagues have even gone once) . . . . that's a fair complaint.
Complaining about the ways in which the military makes your job unnecessarily harder (AHTLA, poor nursing/tech support, etc) . . .that's a fair complaint.
Complaining about not getting enough flying time b/c you weren't willing to chum up with the other flyboys in your squadron . . . . not a valid complaint. This is the silly game you gotta play, if you want that experience. You should know that before taking the job.

No, you can come here an post whatever you like, and others have the right to form a reaction and respond. That's how a forum works. Thanks for promoting me, no intention of making Admiral, I don't love the Navy that much. And my condolences to your Bruins, was hoping for their repeat.
