Pursued a commission in the Navy because I wanted to be a VP pilot. If I select maritime, a goal of mine for the community, and big Navy at that, would be to expand it's role in the Arctic. Choosing the Navy to fly offered me the opportunity to fly, stay in the military, and use my degree. I was looking for a rewarding experience on top flying. If given the opportunity to fly maritime I intend on staying career. That being said, I see myself flying until the bitter end, hence the airline aspirations or NOAA, whichever makes itself available/best for my family. As stated earlier, my family is my number 1 priority.
