<p>USNA84- referring to your comments in post 34, that is the story I have heard as well. Seems there are more than a few in each company that were selected to at least interview for subs, even some that did not have it as one of their “6” choices. Truth be told, I heard it was quite the callenge to come up with 6 “top” choices that danced around subs.</p>
<p>Not sure why the kids are turned off to subs- our mid came back from his PROTRAMID block and said subs were “fun,” but he didn’t like the idea of “not seeing the sun” for months at a time… he liked the “breach” they did, had him hanging off a ladder at some extreme angle, said the food was “really good” but the “smell” was “really bad.” That was about the extent of it. When it came time for service selection, he did not put it on his list. Seems he put SWO down at least 3 times, in various capacities, after air choices. Never realized there were that many SWO options!!!</p>
<p>oh well-
by now everyone is pretty settled in on where they are headed. Know of one female firstie that is biting at the bit to get on SUBS. THAT should be interesting. </p>
<p>As for air selections- doesn’t one’s body measurements play a role in what type of aircraft you get to select? I mean, some of those cockpits seem pretty tight!</p>
