And yes, the usual commitment for flight school is around 8 years. There may be a slight difference though with the Coast Guard given they sometimes want people to go to a sea tour prior to flight school. If that happens I'm not sure of the requirement after flight school....oh and it's usually a commitment that starts on the date of winging, not the date one starts flight school.
