Hello, i've been in the navy for 4 years now, i still have 2 years left do to a 2 year extention...I'm currently a DC (not what i had originally chose) I was going to put in an Officer package to be a Pilot. I've always wanted to be a pilot, and my family is packed with them. I looked up all the requirements as far as school..height (i'm 4'11") and etc. i met them...it's just the fact of putting in my package..okay so to get to the point... My boyfriend, is an AW, i got a feel for the rating before i met him and when we started dating i found out a lot about the rate. It's something i KNOW i'd enjoy, so i'm thinking of cross rating to AW or AWR now.. instead of doing the pilot program, or going AW and then doing the pilot program (probably have a better chance then.) I go to the Pool just about everday i do some of the routines some friends put together and Run and workout every other day. What do you think the chances of me passing would be. My friends (also AWs) said i'd do fine, as long as i didn't give up. They said my personality (nevery want to quit, want to prove i'm best, push myself to the limit) i have a pride issue. When some one tells me i can't, i want to prove them wrong...Mainly because i'm a 4'11, 120 lb female... anyway, does my height and weight have anything to do with the difficulty it would be for me to pass the schools?...i'm not worried much, but i'd like opinions before i made my decisions. sorry this ended up being so long. thanks in advance.
