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.




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?
Bluejay,
Get your priorities together first. If you want to fly there is an age restriction. If you get sick, don't worry...they have a real nice spinning chair that cures 99% of airsick people. If you don't get a pilot slot then you can quit. If you are already in, then it is a different story. You may get to quit, you may not. They are pretty good at getting you what you want to do should you fail out. Try the guard/reserves. You can be a lawyer and fly. Best way to go.
