Keep in mind that ~50-60% of Navy pilots fly helos.

I was told Helos don't actually "fly".

They simply beat the air into submission!

To the OP: Bonus points if you can get hired at a base that allows you to live in base for your mil job AND your civilian job! Also, I would reccomend your hierarchy be Guard then Reserve.
Unless you want to be a taxi driver it can be tough.

130drvr is right. Times have changed. However, I still think AF beats the heck outta navy. Just so many more options and quality flying IMHO.
