Uh... yeah. Aviator has twice the syllables as zoomie, so while you're thumping along at whatever a helo flies at, you can say, "Aaaaaat leaaaaaast I'm an aaaaaaviiiiiiaaaaaatorrrrrrrrr" to the beat of the rotors.

Yazoo...good points have been made about helo assignment risk in the Navy. Helos wouldn't kill your civilian career because you have 121 TPIC but it might be better to stick with FW.
Although your prospects with the majors will only improve with any military flight experience, including helos, so it wouldn't be the end of the world by any means. I have several navy helo friends at DAL who got FW time at the regionals.
