They know the training we get, the discipline that is instilled, and they know the military weeds out a lot of the people who might have a hard time completing their training.
This makes sense, and completely understandable. It's also a great way to reward people for serving their country!
Sorry, I'm not sure what AD or guard/reserve are. And also the difference between Navy and USAF. I figured all flying was done through the Air Force.
