[quote="tommyknocker2121"]I can respect the coast guard. It's a job and someone's got to do it. Though I always found it amusing that back when ( I don't know how it is now) the coast guard was under the Department of Transportation until such a time as war and THEN comes under the Department of Transportation.[/quote]
you can pay for school but you cant buy class
i understood it, thats wierd. dont know why it isnt just covered by the navy
Actually, if you've look at all the modern day American conflicts the Coast Guard have played a vital yet unsung role. They've seen frontline actions in Korea and Vietnam. And a very active role in the Gulf War, Iraq War, Panama and such. If memory serves me correctly they were given the status as a separate branch because their primary duty is coastal defense and policing. While the Navy became the foreign interest defense and first line of diplomatic action.

Don't get me wrong, I have only the utmost respect, these guys are great. Just pointing out an amusing fact...
I want airforce. My cousin, uncle, great uncle, and grandpa was in the airforce. My second choice is the marines. I love the military. :roll:

so far i've been looking into the air force/non-combatant route but need to go see a recruiter again to find what would be available in that area. i was with an army recruiter for a while learning about that branch and took one of the tests which i can't remember what it was called now but it was to give a score based on what you knew in areas of math, science, mechanics and a bunch of other areas and i ended up scoring with a 87-90's range somewhere around there.

Did anyone at the Sac State AFROTC detachment know a Ryan Lee?

No, I don't think he was there last semester. If memory serves me, he was going to Sierra at the time (2001ish-2002ish). Then, he transferred to UNLV, I lost contact with him. Man, I wonder if he got his pilot slot?
