They are looking for that validation - not true insight.
Nope - don't need to be Rambo or even....yes I'm going to say it...Chuck Norris
; BUT you had darn well at least be dedicated if your on my wing going to do the job. People's lives could be on the line. Anyone who refers to our military as those "war-type person[s]" doesn't seem to have what it takes to make it.

Nope...not looking for validation or praise. I've listened to everybody's advice and opinions and I really do think about everything. In fact, I have a text file on my computer where I copy/paste every reply I get for future reference. But that doesn't necessarily mean that I have to follow every piece of advice I'm given. I've already said this so many times. Look at my previous posts in this thread if you'd like a reminder. If I automatically followed somebody's advice, I wouldn't even be here; I'd be on Engineer Central Forums rather than Airline Pilot Central Forums. And by the way, I believe it was you who began this entire discussion on education choices. I posted the variety of education options to the original OP (who obviously has been scared away by now
) That's it.
Additionally, as I've noted before, I have great respect for our armed forces and I have never referred to the military as a whole as "those war type guys."
