Dartmouth for pilots (or WAFUs as we get called there) takes 3 terms. First term is basic militarisation and leadership training with some academics towards the end. Half of the second term is spent on a warship and the other half is spent doing more leadership and academics.
The final term is when we split into our specialisations. All the flight guys do 3 weeks grading, 3 weeks flight academics (history of naval aviation), and 4 weeks of survival drills and the survival course.
It is a fantastic year and you will enjoy yourself and make some quality mates.
Ignore WEBF - he is an idiot who has no idea about how to get on in military life. Do not be a grey man!! The first few weeks are tiring and everything will be new and go past like a blur. Take time to find your feet, meet your oppo's, and let your personality flow. If you pass AIB then you will have a personality that fits in at dartmouth.
I have bitten my lip about WEBF for a long time now but he continues to drip and moan. WEBF - feel free to read these messages but stop giving out useless advice that is wrong and, at the end of the day, just makes you look a fool.
All the best
