Okay, you made your point, now let it go.
At some point it isn't being critical or debating anymore, it is just being a pain in the ass.

P. S. How 'bout less "Just sayin' " and more "Just listenin' "?

I wasn't talking about D-Bear in my missive, but yes, I did fly with him.
You are being incredibly irritating Go away for awhile and spend some time evaluating what has been offered to you. Also, you may want to ponder the "Gold Mine" of expertise on this board including many that are still in uniform and influence Naval Aviation every day . . . . . . .
I wasn't implying that D-Bear was the subject of your IAF story. Guess I should have made that clear. I knew he did some flying in the movie.
Geez, careful stickin' out that tongue, you might bite it, then sound like my little friendo here....Meh point taken

This comes to mind:
Why does USNA, USAFA, USMA and USMMA require a nomination? I'd guess it's to guarantee that students from ALL 50 states and territories are represented. Or maybe it's because it's "politicized". I've gone through the nomination process, and it's not politicized at all - as previously mentioned. Don't know why USCGA doesn't do it. You're out of your league.

Anyone know what kind of standard is expected for those NROTC scholarships? Always wanted to study history in Yale
A high one. And unless things have changed recently, Penn, Cornell, and Harvard (crosstown with MIT) are the only Ivies with NROTC.
Back to the original point. Unless you're happy being in the Irish military as your end state, I wouldn't recommend it. There have to be other venues there for leadership/volunteering/sports/other noteworthy activities. If you want weapons training, you'll get it when and if you get in the US military.
I'm holding the French Foreign Legion out as an option if I ever have to flee felony charges, but that's not plan A.

Nope Yale got a unit a few years back

I know an ex legion guy actually.. they were absolutely crazy in the gulf apparently xD
I knew a mid at USNA who was an Irish (Naval Academy of some sort?) exchange student who crossed over and got a US commission. Weird circumstances involved. It needed approval from some big whigs in the five sided wind tunnel if I recall correctly. It might have even went into the congressional arena as well. If you want a taste of how much an administrative ass pain the DoN can put on you at once by all means just join the Irish boy scouts or whatever plan you had.
Also, for future reference jackoff, anytime you tell somebody to stop making fun of you about a certain topic, expect to get shit on about 10 times more because you asked for mercy. I would clown on you, but I don't have any Irish jokes.

It's hard to imagine this conversation going down like this without the internet. I have a feeling a 17(ish) year old kid would better consider his responses in person with the people with decades of experience offering advice here.
Irish naval college a cadet no doubt. Interesting way of getting a commission, I considered doing that: trying to join the cadets and going over to the U.S on exchange. And to reply to your comment treetop flyer, no I'd pretty much be happy to complain and be critical of procedure if warranted in person, I've discussed Irish Defence forces recruitment with pretty much everyone from a private to a brigadier general, I have no problem discussing issues just as long as people focus on them as opposed to talking shit about where I may or may not be from or my age (which shouldn't matter anyway provided I have something to discuss). I've also consulted with some academics and international military officers and they did raise an eyebrow when I mentioned Naval Academy entry required a political nomination as well as being academically and athletically proficient. This process doesn't mean I won't apply though, I've always wanted to serve my country particularily in Naval Aviation.
