This was talked about in another thread I'm just wondering if I'm doing the right thing going to Navy OCS. Becoming a naval aviator, all of the flying and challenges of landing on the carrier really appeals to me but I was talking to my dad and he said, "you should just enlist because you're not officer material." It was pretty harsh but I know the Navy needs leaders as well and I'm not sure if that is me. I'd prefer to just be the best pilot I could be and let someone else take the leadership tasks. Is that a deal breaker for an apriring Naval Officer? For those of you who are pilots in the Navy, do you do many things involving leading groups of people, presentations, etc. Or do you just do a kickass job of flying the damn thing and get rewarded for it..? I know army warrants mainly focus on the flying so that may be a better option for me. Any advice from you pilots is helpful, thank you guys.
