You know what?
Bump that...the person who started this post: Listen man - do what you have to do to get where you need to be, and don't let ANYONE stop you, whether it be military, PACE, CFI, bottle rockets tied to your boots- who gives a @!#$ ??. With that being said, there is a price to be paid for everything, whether it be emotional, spiritual, financial or physical. In the end, it will and should directly affect you and those who depend on you so feel free to shake some of these haters off your shoulders, cuz they won't be the ones feeding your family - you will.
Man up or shut up, I say...
