Patrol Plane Commander = Captain

Interesting. When I was in the Navy ('80-'03), you had to be a commisioned officer to be a pilot, which required a 4 year degree. The marines still had some enlisted navigators, but not RegNav.

When Layman (sp?) was Sec Nav he brought back the NavCad program. A number of pilot/NFO's were admitted without a degree.

And now they have the Enlisted to Pilot program. If selected, you become a W2 and fly P-3, C-130, DC-9, C40(B737) or H60's. Not a bad gig if selected.

I don't why this is such a hot-button issue.

You're making it a hot-button issue. I'm not the one writing defensive tomes. landlover and I are just calling you out on a completely irrelevant detail of your post that blatantly contributes to your long-running FI crusade, that's all. If you want the last word, go ahead. It really isn't that important to me.

If it is not important to you, why post about it?
