If they are slated for pilot training, they will go to P-Cola. I said NAS Miramar earlier but I'm not sure if they have pilot training there. I know they have Navy and Marine fighters there.

    If you go the OCS route, you already have a degree. OCS is just like officer boot camp. I think it's about 3 months. Then you go from there to your MOS (job) school.
    We went to SIL graduation at Annapolis. The speaker rotates between the president, sec of state, and whatever Leon pinetta was. So we were either going to get Obama, Hillary or pinetta depending on the rotation. We got Pinetta.

    And yeah some midshipmen there graduated into the marines.

    They should raffle off tickets for who gets to drive the fast moving truck. They might be able to fix the national debt.
