Thank you so much for your input. I guess I was concerned about carrying a weapon because I'm not sure if I'd ever be able to take another person's life. That's one of the main reasons I didn't join the Air Force. The Coast Guard looked like a better option in this respect, but I guess I really do have to think about the fact that I may get transferred into the Navy.

Would they accept a private pilot with less than 200 hours? Do you think the likelihood of me being placed into a flying position would be high?

Thank you again for your help!
