Right. I am an airline captain, not a middle schooler playing Call of Duty, but boy do I love being spoken down to
Everyone else who is posting legitimate advice, thank you very much. I am a hard worker and if the military wants me to fly their jets a certain way, then that's how I'll do it. Nothing worse than that person in ground school who always goes "well at my last airline, we used to do this"...
The closest ANG unit to me with fighters is the 144th Fighter Wing in Fresno. Does anybody have any contacts there I could speak to and arrange a base visit? I have at least 1.5 weeks off to work with
