mustang officers

[shooter31]

I am a Navy Nuke E7. I just finished my degree and am looking at OCS. I am still pretty young(us nukes advance quick). I was wondering if there are any of you that were enlisted prior to becoming officers and what kinds of differences you have found between the two worlds. To be completely frank, I am sick of the enlisted world and I am not sure that the officer world is better. Part of that may just have to do with the nuclear community vice others but I am not sure. I had been considering seperating and going to a civilian flight school but I do enjoy being a part of the Navy and feeling like I make a difference. On the rare chance that there is a former nuke turned pilot out there, please msg me.

Thanks much!

Do it!

Go officer and fly. Save thousands and have fun. Why not? You will regret it if you don't do it!

I did ten years each. It was a heck of a lot more fun on the first half in many ways other than the fact that I was able to fly planes on the second half. The thing that makes it hard to compare is that I was commissioned in 1992. That was when the Navy began to be much less of a fun place to be, thank you Paula Caughlin, Slick Willie and the Subic/Cubi/Clark pullout. The post-Tailhook Navy is just not the same. Officer life is good in many ways, yet much more taxing in others. Also, on the day you get commissioned, about 90% of the pu$$y becomes off-limits to you. You'll get a room to your self, but you are responsible for a heck of a lot more (a fact that can also be very satisfying). The differences on the 1st and 30th are obvious. I would do it all again because I love being a pilot, but flying aside, my funmeter was much further to the right in my E-days.

F'in A-dubs...they're everywhere.

I was in VS-32 then did a TSC tour in RODN where I did work as a "SS-4." Are you still in?
