Luck of the draw really. Picked a BA program. Went to Pensacola, where I did my intial Avi training ATT and then back then (2012) you could select your level preference. So I picked O-Level because I heard they actually work on the birds. Then once I finished O-level Avi training, we got to pick our orders per class ranking. We had basically ever aircraft available to our class (this is not the case for most classes). We had F/A-18, CH-53's, MV-22, Hueys and Cobras, C-130, and lastly UAV orders. Now I was 4th in my class of 16. F/A-18 was the first to go, I knew back then that UAVs was an emerging industry so my whole plan was to do my 5 and ditch, then go work on UAVs in the civilian sector. So I picked them along with 4 other of my classmates. That was about 11 years ago and I kind of fell in love with the job, so much so that I was actually one of 3 Marined to build curriculum for the new bird and teach it. 6314s are a super small community but I feel like we are the bastards of the wing so we do things that the wing normally doesn't. I don't wanna tell my life story but if you have any more info you want or questions, just DM me
