I was actually more interested in the pointier end of the sword than the flying part...
On another note, after having looked around at some numbers available at work, it would appear that my chances of getting the type of ship i requested are pretty good, so with that said... can anyone suggest a distance learning university that would be both credible in the eyes of OCS, AND be manageable while on a fast boat with the schedules and that whole lack of internet thing? I have about 50 credits from before I joined the Navy, plus 30 or so CLEP credits, and whatever I can get for the pipeline. I'd like to get working on this ASAP, and I'll apply to the academy one more time before i'm age-precluded for applying again, but I'm putting most of my eggs in the OCS basket at this point as far as commissioning is concerned.
