I just learned that I was selected as a Navigator in the U.S. Air Force. I didn't receive my first choice of pilot, so I'm a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I am tremendously proud that I was picked to be an officer in greatest Air Force this world has ever seen. I am just not certain I should accept the offer, as my aspirations are to be a pilot. However, I know that the Air Force is an opportunity that's hard to turn down.
If I pursue a civilian flying career, I would be entering an uncertain oversaturated industry, but flying is what I love. Being an AF Nav. would fill me pride and I still get to fly around in jets, albeit not behind the controls. Any thoughts and opinions would be appreciated.
By the way, my age prohibits me from transitioning from Nav to Pilot in the AF.
