Craig Candeto has been named Georgia Tech’s quarterbacks and B-backs coach, replacing Bryan Cook. Candeto has been Tech’s assistant operations director since last offseason. Cook was hired in December as offensive coordinator at Georgia Southern.

Candeto played quarterback for coach Paul Johnson at Navy and has experience coaching the position. Candeto, who flew fighter jets in the Navy before he was discharged for medical reasons, was a graduate assistant for Johnson at Tech in 2010 and then left to coach quarterbacks and B-backs at The Citadel. He went from there to Division III Capital University, where he coached 2013-15, again coaching quarterbacks and B-backs.

Why would he go from The Citadel to Capital University? Was he fired?
 
I still wonder how he got off active duty as a pilot in 5 years. He should've had to serve 10 as a pilot.

Better get him one of these. Does it come in gold?

There is a lot of stuff that can disqualify you as a pilot, most of it you can stay in the Navy for. Since the Navy is trying to downsize, he may have been given the option of separating vice re-designation. Also, the active duty requirement is 6 years with 2 years in the reserves for a total of 8 years, not 10. The entire 8 can also be active duty.

Perhaps they wouldn't let him re-designate... which would've been odd. To be disqualified after completing flight school is quite rare too. The Navy doesn't invest millions of dollars into flight training without putting through people through rigorous physicals to catch potential disqualifiers. I'm not saying something legit didn't happen to his physical condition, but it is very peculiar. I would bet there is more to this story.

However, you are incorrect on the service obligation. The Active Duty requirement for fixed wing pilots is 8 years after completing flight school. That would put the pilot at around 10 years of service.

(a)Pilots.—
The minimum service obligation of any member who successfully completes training in the armed forces as a pilot shall be 8 years, if the member is trained to fly fixed-wing jet aircraft, or 6 years, if the member is trained to fly any other type of aircraft.
(b)Navigators and Naval Flight Officers.—
The minimum service obligation of any member who successfully completes training in the armed forces as a navigator or naval flight officer shall be 6 years.
(c)Definition.—In this section, the term “service obligation” means the period of active duty or, in the case of a member of a reserve component who completed flight training in an active duty for training status as a member of a reserve component, the period of service in an active status in the Selected Reserve required to be served after—
(1)
completion of undergraduate pilot training, in the case of training as a pilot;
(2)
completion of undergraduate navigator training, in the case of training as a navigator; or
(3)
completion of undergraduate training as a naval flight officer, in the case of training as a naval flight officer.
