Air Force v.s. Navy Culture Differences
- Thread starter druteague

Sometimes, I'm kind of a "tough love" kind of guy. If "culture differences" is your biggest concern, maybe you should look at career opportunities outside of the military. At our baselines, we all pretty much come down the same way...

Did you get accepted into an OCS program already?

Not yet, I got one more year of my History degree, been looking into Army Aviation, seems the most realistic out of my options. Been doing research and I got a 113 on my first GT for the ASVAB, next is the SIFT.

I considered all my options at this point, and while Air National Guard is tempting as well...I'm throwing packages everywhere, but I am not picky, I want to stress that. In this day and age, you can't be. So Army seems a tempting offer, even if the 10 year ADSO is a scary thought.
Chances are that if you fly army helicopters you’ll end up doing deck landings on a navy ship someday.

Sounds like a good deal to me, I'll keep you guys posted. Intensely grateful for the community here.
Was wondering how long it would take for the ol' "if you care about x, then you don't belong in my Navy" bullshit.

Swanee, I am really looking at bogidope, to be honest that's my first choice...luckily I know an Air Guard squadron pilot and there's a base nearby. Will keep in touch with him too.
If you have a four-year degree and a private pilot certificate and are otherwise healthy and qualified, you would be crazy not to go to the Air Guard or Reserve as your first choice....
Do people still compete for pilot slots at Air Force OTS? That was a big drawback to regular Air Force to me.
A straight up Flight contract was one of my big reasons for going Navy back in 2009. If I had to do it today, go Coast Guard.

When I applied in 2010 it was identical to the Navy process.
