Ed,
Hey, you guys. Ease up on the liberal arts majors. When I found out that a chemistry major was totally uninteresting to me, I redirected into Political Science and despite that BS and a couple of MSs, I still do OK with regard to tactical airplanes. Ditto. I didn't even bother with anything but a Poli Sci major. The Navy didn't care as much about one's major as whether one had the aptitude for flight training and commissioned service, and later demonstrated that aptitude. A classmate of mine and fellow Poli Sci major, Dana McKinney, retired as an O-8. One of his last assignments was as the Flag Officer in charge of activities at Naval Air Weapons Station - China Lake. -- Mike Kanze "If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed, if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed." - Mark Twain (a journalist before he became a humorist) "Ed Rasimus" wrote in message ...
