Just a thought for the other youngn's thinking, "Ohhh, I want to be an AF pilot, too!"
Junior? I think this "youngn" is way ahead of you in considering the responsibilities of being in the military. Serving in the Armed Services is an honorable profession, period. As far as "free flight benefits"....they ain't free. You have to earn it. I would never discourage someone from wanting to serve our country....and yes, I have "been there and done that".
Good for you 135guy! Your part of another "greatest generation".
