I disagree with the times there. That might work as a study habit for a VERY few number of people but if you really need to study that much in API to get by, there aren't enough hours in the day for how much you will need to study in primary and advanced to survive. No one I knew studied for that long.
Don't study hard...study smart
Clearly someone hasn't been following AW very closely
It has been discussed in depth, in this thread among others.
Agreed. I think there was maybe one overly anxious prior service guy in my API class who did this (I remember him talking about practicing PLF's off of his bed), but none others that I know of. The firehose gets much wider the further you get through the pipeline (and beyond).
The introductory material is always the hardest, once you have that layer down you can always build. If you guys try to understand what your studying instead of just relying on memorizing numbers you will do A LOT better and you'll end up having to study less in the end.
Hit the nail on the head with what I meant about study smart not hard.
Exactly. First you learn how to fly, then you learn how to fly dynamically, then you learn how to fly tactically. Each builds upon the other. The flying eventually has to be second nature to be successful.
As of today, you are attired from the aviation pipeline and go to a redesignation board. The "good deal" redes is gone. Unless you have a critical skill like engineering, you're probably going out of the Navy or to SWO land.
That's what used to happen -- the attrites (for whatever reason) were redesignated & assigned to DD's, Gators (oooops), or the Riverine Force (double ooooops).
The only thing you could count on was NOT getting a ticket to go home to Mommy ...

IIRC, in 2005 ish you got your free go to "Mommy pass" even with USNA attached to your bio.
Then is was ass/u/med that "they" did not want the bad pub of paying for that fine education with no paybacks, and you still had to do the 5. Maybe even as an IA in the lands of sand/mountains East.
Are 'they' now facing the wrath of the media and giving the "Mommy" again ?
The little brown water craft looked like fun and would also give a decent ski ride...

As I said, the regular redes boards (where DOR and attrites go through) seem to be unfavorable to most folks unless you have a critical skill to offer. Commissioning source, we were told, doesn't have a huge bearing on it. And the dudes who just wanted to walk with their free USNA education already got that option in February. A few took it and are just hanging around here waiting to get out. Timing is everything it seems.
And the brown water folks are NECC now. I think as an O, you need a SWO pin first. I wonder if they take Seabee types?
Haha. That's what you think.
