Lyrics:
How ya flyin' Gold Hawks?
Mach 1 Sir/Mam!
Down we dive, we look alive
We make em run, we make em hide
What do we do?
We hunt, we slay, we're birds of prey
Huaaa Gold Hawks


HUA! I'm ready to go!

Prepare to witness something even gayer.

I saw a sheet today that put the FY2006 amount of pilots the Air Force wants from AFROTC at 566.

Since it seems that navy slots are few and far between any of you guys plan on applying to the AF?I know its not the same but at least you would get to fly and serve your country.

In response to the original question- I personally don't think the number of navy slots available should really matter to a person when they apply. If their ultimate goal is to serve our country as a military aviator, then I'd encourage them to apply to as many of the services as possible, because lets face it- putting all your eggs in one basket is foolish. I grew up around the Navy/Marine Corps and always wanted to be a naval aviator, but when i was applying, I applied to programs of all of the services (including CG) in case my first choice didn't workout. For a while, it looked like i was going to the AF , but things ended up working out, and here I am.
Yes, the Navy/Marine team is not the same as the AF, Army, and CG. Each is different and has their own way of doing things. However, no matter what service you end up in (and no matter what capacity) you are still doing more for our country and our way of life then the vast majority of the rest of the population- so more power to you.
