I've been talking to a friend of mine who flies Huey's. Telling me a bit about the community and how it can be a little cut throat and the new guys kinda get bullied. Still deciding if that is something I want to deal with. I've been in the Corps for 13 years (9 enlisted) and have been there done that new guy thing.
What I'm more interested is time with the family. I'd like to get to a point where I don't have to study every night and every weekend while not deployed. I feel like that would come much sooner in a 53.
I really like the tactical yanking and banking type flying though based on what I've seen in advanced. I'd like to learn more of that in the future, but at the same time don't want to be an absentee father/husband.
If you fly 53s welcome to chime in as well. Just trying to get a feel for what works with a family in the fleet. I have about 3 weeks til I have to put in my selection choices and am torn between trying for what I want to fly and what may be a better fit for a family man.
