Now that is funny.

My lottery number was 325 in 1973 and was enrolled in the AVROC program at my little college in Louisiana. Was rifted when I dropped to part time one semester (recruiter said there was a 10 month backlog on pilots getting training slots and the Navy was looking for ways to slim the applicants since the end of Vietnam had created a surplus of pilots).

The thread shouldn't be toast, I stand by my statement that military trained doesn't make you a better pilot, just a better trained pilot.

Sorry to disappoint, but I respect all backgrounds equally!

Fly safe,

OC
