Big time resurrect I know, anyone have knowledge of Navy guys making the switch? If so, anyone have any idea if it would be doable before the 8 year post wings commitment is up, or if it would be something that would have to wait till after?
Back when my winging committment was up the Air Force was accepting transfers and you'd end up going heavies or U-2. (So you can go from Navy helos at 150 ft and 90 knts to 80,000 ft and 90 kts, but I digress)
The Air Force was offering a 10 year contact with a $250K bonus ($25K/yr).
The navy detailer came to the RAG to speak to the instructors and someone asked about that program. I remember her saying that it wasn't a good deal and you're better off staying in the Navy (and going on your disassociated sea tour and no bonus back then.)
I don't know what was funnier, her saying that with a straight face or 20+ LT's all trying to stifle laughs at the same time!
