Don't forget that if you go to Corpus and somehow get helos, you will be staying in the lovely Whiting Field BOQ because they have a mandated 95% full policy. In other words, the next 8 months will be spent in North Milton instead of at PCola beach. However, if you go directly to Whiting for the VT's, I think you can live off base for the entire time. As for selection, they have upped the PTR so much for Navy helo students that there is serious discussion of putting in a 3rd HT squadron. Anyway, good luck in flight school!
