While you were the PIC either flying a single seat jet in combat zones or a 4 engine heavy overseas and likely into combat zones, they were flying a 30 pax prop job out of places like Madison and Omaha. I love it when Civ only guys talk crap on Mil guys. I don't see 45 year old Civ guys showing up and doing the Military flying, but 45 year old Mil guys transition to civ flying all the time. Ever wonder why that is? Just remember as they are telling you those stories the only reason they are in the left seat is because the got hired before you did.
