No one put a gun to my head to sign up. I don't blame anyone. It is what it is. I never saw the "good 'ol days" that I have heard growing up. Bending over... you betcha. Uncle's beaaaatch.... most definitely! I made life long friends, got to see the world, and the flying was a blast (when I finally got to fly after countless hours of doing "made up work" and infinite amount of bs ground training). I just couldn't sawllow the unbelievable bs and I wasn't alone. I finally caught up with that carrot and it turned out to be a orange turd, so I punched! Yes, the grass is greener on the other side, at least for me and my family!
