33 yrs old..transition from something else?


With 242 hours in type? Maybe an F-14 guy now an F-18 DH. Then again
it really could be a first-tour JO.

In only about the past five years you see whole lot of flight students
and nuggets who fit a different demographic. It's surprisingly common
to see a guy in his late 20s, married, even with one or two kids, and
some years' prior enlisted service. This is at least on the rotary-wing
side of the house (I can't speak for VFA). Weird to think that the
"light your hair on fire" single guys might go the way of the dinosaur!
