they use to go thru navy flight school.... i assume they still do. the Herc pilots went thru the AF school house in Little rock.... when I went thru my initial co-pilot school we had a female coastie in our class. they have alot of nice places...and NOT SO nice places for aviators. Lots of choppers.... some of the falcon jets...and the hercs..... i suspect they have the 27 1/2 age limit or something to that effect as well.
