Dude...you should have 3 priorities and they are in no particular order, get your wings, get your wings, get your wings. Work your ass off, avoid Seville Quarter and Pcola Beach except for weekends, pass the obstacle course, the mile swim, the mile and half run, study your butt off and get through API. Then eat, sleep, rinse, repeat in Primary. Avoid Maritime (i.e. P3s/EP3s/P8s) unless you want EVERY flight to be a NATOPS check. Hit the riot trainer and use the crap out of every available sim time you can get. Primary grades will be the decider on your future. If you want to be challenged and have every flight be different, then get jet grades and learn how to land on the boat (i.e. CVN). Bottom line, you will end up loving whatever platform you get. Keep an open mind, be a sponge, don't be stupid, and kick butt in the fleet. Once you make it to shore duty (hopefully a flying job) after you first fleet tour, then start thinking about airlines. If you've done it right, you'll probably already love what your doing and stay in. If not, then start worrying about airline jobs.

Remember... get your wings!
