We all had the same options, just made a different choice. It’s very individualized. There’s no secret recipe. I went Republic because of bases, the plane, and my career outlook.
I looked at EDV carefully, I just didn't think it fit me as well as YX. And I didn't want to wear the hat.
Which one of us has the better chance of working at a major someday? Today, I'd say you. Your reserve sentence might payoff big down the road.
