This just came out a few days ago on the website. Still haven't seen it in NAVADMIN form. Looks like a pretty good deal for the lucky one's that get it.

Who's afraid of a 12 year service obligation?

Just like an eight year obligation after three years of training for pilots?

Flight school or med school?

Flying(worst case flying a desk) or checking assholes?

That 8 year doesn't seem nearly as bad when you look at it that way.

To some landing a jet or helo on the boat at night at bingo in the middle of the ocean might be much worse than checking assholes.

There are worse things than doing a physical on this:

Plus, the money is good too, not so much the case with pilots anymore......
