GO NAVY
OK so everyone is going to think I am an idiot for wanting to pursue a career in Naval Aviation when you hear this but nonetheless here I go.
I hate flying, I am more afraid of flying than anything else, I always have been. Now that being said I have been on more flights than most people I know, Long flights, short flights, jets, props, Ive done it all, and yet I am still terrified of flying commercial aviation. I don't know what to do. I know the statistics, and I can rationalize, but I still get anxiety weeks before every time I know I have to fly.
I guess my question is am I being foolish in thinking I can handle a career flying for the navy? I guess no one can answer that but me. I think my fear stems more from the circumstances that flying commercial brings, rather than the actual act of flying. I don't know its just really annoying that I have this paranoia and fear, that every time I get on a plane I'm going to crash and die... I guess I'm looking for insight or help in getting over this fear. Thanks for your responses.
