- motion sickness, you didn't puke and that's a pretty good sign.
I almost never do puke, I just feel really really bad. I can't ride roller coasters because of it.
Yes, in general it can be overcome for a lot of folks. I horked hard in many rides in the might Tweet. Before stressing about it, talk to your CFI about it, he was there and can probably give better advice than random internet dudes. Based on the limited info you gave, sounds like you were copacetic during regular flight and didn't start having problems till you asked for a show, and got one. And at that point, still not horking is a positive sign.
Yea, I'm almost always fine when I fly as long as I'm flying normally. But I'd assume a fighter pilot pulls some stomach turning maneuvers on a daily basis.
ROTC's great for all kinds of reasons. I'm an anti-debt kind of guy (unAmerican of me I know) and the idea of having uncle sammy pay for school for service you plan on giving anyway....seems okay to me. Get to go to normal school, pretend you're affiliated with a somewhat military'ish service, do good, get a pilot slot, etc.
Sounds good, but what if I don't get a pilot slot? Then what? It's the military, so I can't quit. Will I be stuck peeling potatoes for the next 6 or so years? Will I be stuck flying Helos over Afganistan with half a dozen terrorists firing rockets at me? Or does the marines only do that?
And if I do get a pilot slot, will I serve after Law school or before?
