1) military flying is awesome and offers opportunities that most civilian guys can't imagine. For example, in my 20 years flying heavies (with a few staff jobs in between), I took off and landed in 69 countries and all 7 continents. And I'm damn proud to fly for Delta.
2) NOTHING will prepare you for that first push back in the ATL with catering trucks and baggage carts whizzing behind your jet and the ramp asking you for your RNAV departure. Nothing. You think you know, you don't.

Prepare yourself to be immediately humbled and challenged. You won't be in Kansas anymore. It'll rock your military mind.

With all that said, we welcome you and are so thrilled that you are joining our ranks. If anybody has questions, please PM me.

Cheers!

And gasp, they even hire civilians

And if it's NOT all 7 yet, they say it's just a matter of time.
