I was led to believe that in the 60s it was just about possible for an FAA SL (P) to be CDQ before he made Sub Lt - the 2ic of RN EFTS in the late 70s was one, I was told.
20 and still a Middy and in the front seat - could it get better in the world of aviation? There could even have been a 19 y/o.
John Eacott may be able to expand/confirm this?
