Every naval aviator I have known, both past, present, and future, has loved their career so much, that they were honored to sit down with a wannabee and give every nugget of advice that they could.
I agree with all the above posts. This doesn't seem like a naval aviator to me. This seems like some broke ass publisher trying to scrape together useless gouge and capitalize on the prestige of the careers of those he cites.
Those of us that aspire to become aviators are fortunate enough to have the guidance and advice of those that are current or retired naval aviators (just like all the guys on this forum).
What a joke.
