If you were fortunate enough to fly fighters, you know what it was like. Others who haven't can only wonder, but you know...
That said, in my life I have seen that typically the amount of boasting one does about their fighter career is inversely proportional to the amount of chatter they do later about it. The Mig/Mirage killers I know...one a board regular...typically are quite humble and quiet. The guy who barely made 2 ship or maybe 4 ship lead before going back to ATC won't shut up.
Be proud of what you did, but remember the aggressor motto: Be humble.
