LOL ... I didn't mean they were pulling the F-14s out of commission immediately. Sheesh. Look what I've started ;)

I did ask, though, and the papers were signed to eventually take the F-14s out of commission. So there we have it.

All I know is that growing up, I thought the Tomcats were the coolest plane ever. Period. I had picture of them posted all over my walls.

My parents should've know then that I was always going to Navy. LOL

I think it's still somewhat of a shock to my family that I'm doing the military "thing."

And yet, I've known since I was 13 that this is what I wanted to do! Maybe they were hoping I'd grow out of it. LOL

Anyone else get any resistance when announcing they were going Navy?

Trumpet, My wife and I built a model airplane of a Hornet and gave it to my parents as the way of telling them I was pursueing a career in the Navy. We worked an unbelievable amount of hours of this thing making sure all the paints and details were exact. Even used the finest horsehair brush we could find. Needless to say we took great pride in the finished product. My dad was friggin stoked when we gave it to them and told them the news, however my mom....she stomped on the plane and demolished it. The pilots arm even came unglued in the beating. She's doing better now though!

New to the site. Love it though. I found out in October that I was accepted into the BDCP with a pilot designator. I will report for OCS around summer '05. Anyone else get news recently?

Okay, someone set me straight here. I've heard that even though both the academy and the ROTC students both come out as commissioned officers, it's the ROTC guys that end up with the slots they want because their graduation time is a little earlier than the academies. Is this true?

Greetings to all.

I am curious when the next board will be meeting. Someone said there was a closing of NFO? What about Intel...are there still slots for Intel?
About how long should it be before I hear back on the selection? My recruiter submitted my package around the end of October. I have a BS in Aerospace, Masters in Criminal Justice, also have prior enlisted service in the Army ranger batt.

Steifel- From what I've heard, it depends on what you want to fly. There are 6'2" pilots, but I couldn't tell you exactly what types of jets they're flying.
I'm 6'1" (hopefully finished growing at this point, but I think I've already shot up another inch this year) and going Navy. You can always go for NFO if your height is a problem.
