Date: May 27th, 2017 2:17 PM Author: Hideous 180 bawdyhouse police squad i know a couple doods on fb who fly for the navy and air force. they're not like fighter pilots or anything, but they seem to just sort of bounce around endlessly from school to school. looks cr as hell. do they actually have to work real jobs in the military in the meantime?

Date: May 27th, 2017 2:19 PM Author: Umber cracking background story I'm not sure what you mean by that. They are officers and will have collateral duties that officers have for the most part. They don't literally just fly planes. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3628249&forum_id=2#33409031) |

Date: May 27th, 2017 2:27 PM Author: Umber cracking background story I'm sure there is mandatory training periodically, but I don't think for most pilots it's endless school after school. At some point you're a division officer doing some flying and a lot of paper pushing, ie doing the job. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3628249&forum_id=2#33409065) |

Date: May 27th, 2017 2:20 PM Author: Provocative tattoo there's a ton of paper work and fighter pilots, at least in the air force, work 12 hour days. lots of documentation and busywork. probably like a 50-60hr workweek with maybe 10% of that being time in the sky
i think 'heavy' pilots have it better w/r/t busywork, but they are also away from home a lot more doing shipments and shit.
not sure how the navy is, but imagine there's less BS and more chill time when they're not on the boat

Date: May 27th, 2017 2:27 PM Author: dashing school My best bro from UG was a flight surgeon in the Navy for 5 years after graduating from med school. He loved it. The Navy payed off all of his student loans, and he could take an F-18 for a spin more or less whenever he wanted.
I can't comprehend why every bro who attends medical school doesn't go this route. It sounds 180 as fuck.

copping ortho, derm, cardiology, pays off a lot more.
you either have a 20 yr career, earn a lot less than civilian physicians and all the bullshit that comes with the military or you exit and have to do another residency to get real civilian training (supper shitty when your 33 and have kids) |

If this guy loved it (quintessential east coast stoner, touch of wigger, hippy turned successful executive father & etc), it's hard for me to imagine anyone except the most nebbish of dorks not liking it.
He also noted that ex-flignt surgeons are a very tight group, and they go the extra mile to help fresh out of Navy flight surgeons to match well, resulting in a much better residency.

He absolutely loved flying figjter jets, and as I noted above, he was probably the most anti-meathead people of all my friends. He is going to strongly urge his kids to be fighter pilots, that is if they still have fighter pilots then. |
