Let's ask the question this way.....
If given a choice of F-18's, C-130's, MV-22's, AH-1Z's, or CH-53E/K's.....and knowing the various mission taskings and deployment schedules....combined with post military service employment opportunities....FAA licensing issues....can one spell Lockheed? Particularly if one were to think about an inter-service transfer to the US Coast Guard!
