 I am a Lieutenant Junior Grade and I'm currently a student naval aviator, so pretty soon I'll just be an aviator. For me, I knew from the get-go I wanted helicopters. That's what I wanted. That's why I joined the Navy was to be a helicopter pilot. When I was a kid I thought they were the weirdest things ever. Once you get in there and you start flying, you realize that this is what you're meant to do. You are defying gravity. You have to be the best because if you're not willing to give your all, why are you here?
