3) Best chance to get actual combat experience (ie. a President's first question in a crisis is, "Where is the nearest carrier?")
4) Naval/marine aviators can do anything an AF jock can do, PLUS land on a pitching deck (something an AF guy cannot do and isn't qualified to do)
5) Every civilian girl knows what Top Gun is...not so "Red Flag", etc.
6) There is no better looking uniform than Class A Navy whites or Marine Dress Blues
7) Location-wise, Annapolis is far better place to spend 4 years than being stuck up in the cold mountains of CO

I can go on, and I am admittedly bias (<--note the qualifier), but to say what you said above is ridiculous (no offense to the AF guys...after all, someone has to do the heavy airlift stuff!)

Read above, that's why you should go AF ANG
