I'm a sophomore in college - hoping to fly helo's - specifically the -53. I talked to an OSO a couple weeks ago and the career path he laid out seemed a little too good to be true - thought I'd come here for some confirmation.
Basically he said if I wanted to just do 6 years and get out it would go something like this:
2 3-year flying tours, deploying approximately 7 months on, 11 months off
According to him - I could take a B-Billet whenever I wanted to? So, for example, if my wife was pregnant I could take a shore-based B-Billet for a year or so then go back to flying.
This sounds like a little bit too good of a deal - anybody want to clarify this?
