The Navy probably pays about 2M to train a Naval Aviator, and jumping out of a perfectly good airplane?

The Retard Hemet,Coke Bottles and Schit Rifle connects alotta dots...Drooling Dots. Congratulations?!?
Bless your heart.
Laughing!.....................
I feign my surprise that you would even notice, and I thank you for that. If mice were any easier to bait, I wouldn't even need cheese. "Bigstick" can you spell epic sucker any easier???
The training track and time, attrition rate, training costs to mention a few, should clue you in....
Oh, some "short bus" heritage..

Guys, those jets are way out of his league. It's like talking fluent English to him.
He's still on the quest for the 1500 yard ringer. Building a heavyweight 6mm is getting him closer every day, and he's looking mighty proud. Evidently he got within 2 feet on that last shot.
Officers don't get that test administered, way too rudimentary. Their criteria is based on academic background (Four year Bachelor's degree at a minimum and in fields not including basketweaving),then aviation gets a test called AQT/FAR. Completely different (and higher) standards. So you'd lose your wager. Incidentally, the highest standards, at least in the Navy for enlisted ranks, Corpsman doesn't even compare to AW (aviation warfare operator) or any of the Nuke rates. Now if you are talking MDs, whole different ball of wax, but to compare medics to Aviators (even Army ones) in terms of requirements, is pretty far fetched...

You know not of what you speak, at all. I've taught TCCC to Navy corpsmen, Seabees are WAY smarter.
Comparing a fleet corpsman to an SF medic means you ain't gotta clue. If you actually knew someone with a trident he would quickly disabuse you of that silly notion.
The washout rate in the old SF Medic course was several times that of any flyboy course. It was always so high they were continually investigated by TRADOC. The avg IQ of the grads was higher than that of the O's coming out of the SF Q Course. That fact was straight from the USASOC shrink.
Suffice to say, we now have another IDIOT in our midst. I was NOT comparing a "Fleet Corspman" (including those who serve with the FMF and SEAL Teams of course) to SF Medics, merely addressing the initial ENTRY test scores and standards which would not even come close for acceptance into a commissioning source and much less Naval Aviation, but of course you just happen to have the "washout rates" in Naval Aviation at your fingertips. And whist on the subject of Seabees, what particular RATES of Seabees. Please dont make me embarrass you any more, but that perennial chip on your shoulder must get heavy. How tall are you?
Edited to add: Incidentally SEALS in the Navy are recruited from ALL rates as well. One might come in as an MM (Machinist Mate) for example,go to A school, do a fleet tour then apply to the SEALS. Then of course, the testing starts. Incidentally, the attrition rate for Aviators from recruiting to a fleet squadron ran about 90% when I went through.

Army Roto wingers are required to have a 110 GT score. So are Army enlisted 68W's (basic medics)...

Same as is required to even put in paperwork for SFAS.
Whore-hey (like that new spellin'?), you really should have run for publik orifice. Anyone with the audacity to say stuff in one post and deny it in the next would make Robspierre proud.

Two entirely different testing systems sir. The Navy's and the USAF's are similar. There is NO VEHICLE for an enlisted person to make the jump right into Aviator training in any of the Sea Services (Navy trains them all) or the USAF.

Your understanding of the English language at least tells me you'd be lucky to fill the YOUR NAME part of any serious test. And how tall are you? Where did you go to school? ( I mean college)?
