I am absolutely convinced that at some point in the series, Jake mentions that he either planned to be a Navy pilot (if the Yeerks hadn't happened) or that it was something he daydreamed about as a younger kid. Or was interested in it. Or something. I can't for the life of me remember what book this was in or what he said about it.

Does anyone else remember this, or am I just adding my own imagination into the canon?

I think Grandpa G was, but then there was that confusion with some civil war guy diary as well? Or something? Man, it's been so long. -_-

Out of curiosity, what points did he get so amusingly wrong? Since I know nothing about the Navy.

I know Michael Reynolds/Grant/Whatever-he's-calling-himself was a Navy brat, so maybe he was drawing on childhood knowledge? (for that matter, Jake's not the only 'leader' of his to be obsessed with all things nautical... Hm...)
