You just responded to a 7 year old thread with advice that someone look into a program that has been gone for almost 25 years. Your gouge was almost 20 years out of date when this thread was new.

This place is amazing sometimes.
Moreover, the guy didn't even attend AOCS in the first place.

I’m thinking with what the Germans are doing in Europe it’s only a matter of time before Japan attacks us. If I enlist now, do you think my chances of getting a Hellcat slot are higher than if I wait to get drafted. I’ve been told the Hellcat guys get more time at home than the Wildcat pilots. My plan B is to go PBY and build hours for a Clipper job post war.

Reminds of back in 19-dick-a-dee-doo when I joined the V5 program. Two months at Swathmore, two more learning to fly a Cub with the Civil Air Authority, then on to Norman Oklahoma for primary and Chicago for more advanced training. The train rides to each base were great! You should give it a whirl kiddo!

I hear the last class mostly got assigned the Douglas TBD Devastator. Torps are where it’s at!

Meh. My on-wing said if you don’t select Avengers, you’ll get screwed in the transition.
