Understood. It's like when I express an interest in the military and people respond, "Why do you want people telling you what to do all the time?" I then wonder if it is not the same in a civilian job where your boss manages your day and tasks. But, anyhow, I was simply wondering if Supply...

I guess like most things in life, there are ups and downs. Is a supply tour known as an especially difficult tour because of the size of the crew?

Oh, well that certainly sucks the big one. If SUPPO is in fact a thankless job, then perhaps 4 years in and out is the way to go. And, what are the upsides of obtaining a SW Supply badge? Once again, does it entail standing watch like other SW officers? Thanks.

Makes sense. Thanks. Is it worth getting the SWO badge as a SUPPO? What does that entail? Standing watches?

Thanks. Yes, I was thinking the same point as far as Supply goes. Leadership experience plus dealing with financial matters which would perhaps be a better fit for b school. Then again, I did meet a former helo pilot who got into Stanford business after his stint in the Navy was up. I guess...

Is SWO a better community than Supply if one wanted to gain management/leadership experience before applying to business school? Or, do they both offer the same type of leadership/management opportunities and they are both basically what one makes of each community? Thanks.

Does the military generally face a problem of retaining its pilots after their minimum service requirement has been met? Is their typically a mass exodus to the airlines at that point? If so, can such pilots go directly to the majors or must they spend a few years at a regional airline first...

Thanks. Yes, I am completely open to staying longer (assuming I get commissioned in the first place). I think it seems like a win win either way. If I end up hating the Navy, I can do just the three years, still have served my country, received some management/leadership experience, and go...

Does the five year commitment stand whether one accepts a two or 4 year scholarship? Are there three year scholarships? While I am open to serving beyond the commitment if the Navy and I like each other, my original plan is to serve my country for a years, get some leadership/management...

Thanks

Thanks. So, can I infer from your response that a mediocre officer at the 4th or 5th year mark will most likely not get offered the bonus? Would he just probably leave the service altogether at that point? Would this most likely mean the same for someone who does not make DH? Btw, what are...

http://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=96687 Bonuses of 95K to 105K? This sounds good on the one hand. But, the again, are such bonuses being offered because junior SW officers are leaving the Navy in droves? Does "Officer in Year Group 2012" mean SW officers who were commissioned...
