"We are looking for highly motivated career-oriented officers who desire an opportunity to represent the finest men and women of the United States Navy and Marine Corps," said Blue Angels Opposing Solo Pilot Lt. Dave Tickle.
The opportunity to demonstrate the teamwork and dedication of our military to citizens across the country is a rare and unique privilege, Tickle added. It is important the individuals selected are well rounded and proficient in their fields.
"Applying is easy," Tickle said. "However, once we enter the decision-making process we take time to ensure the right applicants are selected to uphold the standards of excellence found throughout the fleet."
Once individuals are considered "active applicants," they are invited to attend any pre-show briefing during the normal show season and attend social functions at the air shows. This gives prospective members insight into the overall routine of the Blue Angels and allows team members to meet the applicants.
Future Blue Angels must have a strong work ethic, exceptional communication skills, the enthusiasm to represent the men and women of the Navy and Marine Corps and the desire to uphold the traditions of the Blue Angels organization.
