 Whether you know it or not, the Navy is giving its sailors the training and knowledge to become an astronaut. Applications for the space program are now being accepted, and in an attempt to cast the net as wide as possible, the program has been opened up to enlisted service members as well as officers. One of the common characteristics though that the military brings, the Navy brings, is that aspect of teamwork, followership, leadership. Those are characteristics that the military asks us to do every single day out on ships, on airplanes, on any base at your station. So I see there's a very strong common characteristic that comes from military people bringing those aspects to here to the space program. The deadline for applications is February 18, 2016.
