I was on the VAW-120 Flag Football Team as an instructor and I regret not having done it as a student. Good times had by all and I saw some amazing athletes out there. Some of those kids would probably be playing for D-1 teams if they had the SAT scores out of high school. That's my theory, of course.
To back up FlyBoyd, our "coach" was a student NFO that was actually struggling with the program. But all the instructors, I think, gave him a bit of a break because we all knew him outside of work and knew he was a good guy and a good leader.
Bottom line to all students, go play for your command team even if you suck. If you sit on the bench and cheer for your team then grab a beer with them afterwards, the instructors will know you. And knowing is half the battle, not sucking in the plane is the other half.
