I stated it in another thread. I was offered a flight contract for Marines. It was MEPS that didn't like my medical history. I was honest with them about my past, but maybe I should have just lied. I didn't want to do that though.
If any of you guys ever get an opportunity for a hop, please put in the good word to get me up. I have to get up in one at least once in my life.
I want to know what it's like to go the speed of sound the right way.
Although, I'd take a ride in an A-10 or AV-8B and be just as thrilled not going the speed of sound.
