Quoting JetJock22 (Thread starter): I'm in the process of trying to think of a good one since I'm gonna be one eventually |
Quoting Londonlady71 (Reply 11): personally i would always go with melons but would have some serious worries about what would happen to them at G force |
Quoting JetJock22 (Reply 10): I'm flying an F-18 or whatever planes they'll have in a few years |
Quoting DeltaGator (Reply 12): Nice, you saucy British gal |
Quoting DeltaGator (Reply 12): Just to make sure you are seated in reality but everyone goes into PNS thinking they'll be a F/A-18 pilot. You will most likely be assigned to another aircraft, or shudder to think, a helicopter. Your abilities, test scores, etc. all factor into your placement but also what openings are available as your class comes through flight school. Good luck getting your wings. |
Quoting Ftrguy (Reply 16): It seems that the people that go to Pensacola thinking they're a badass and brag on how they are going to get F-18's, are the ones who are now flying helicopters (which is not a bad thing). |
Quoting DeltaGator (Reply 17): Flying is always better than being a SWO if you ask me. |

Quoting Ftrguy (Reply 5): FYI: Any and all callsigns from TOPGUN are permanently banned from Naval Aviation. |
Quoting Ftrguy (Reply 16): TIMING IS EVERYTHING. You might have jet grades, but the week you select they might not have jet slots. There were 35 pilots in my API class. There were only 3 of us that got Hornets after winging. |
Quoting DeltaGuy (Reply 14): Like FtrGuy said, it's often a play on your name- "Comet" Haley Stu "Pid" |
Quoting DeltaGuy (Reply 14): Or something distinctive about you, like "Bags" if your eyes always seem to be droopy. "Bullet" if you're completely bald, etc etc. |
