On a serious note, after 1000 hours military, most of it in the Hornet, the most significant thing that I learned is that I don't know what I don't know.

Solo the T-34... I thought I was the man, then I selected jets... thought I was the man, solo'd T-2's and started flying some cool formations... thought I was the man, solo'd T-45's, started dropping bombs, doing some dogfighting, landed on an aircraft carrier...thought I was the man. Selected Hornets...thought I was the man. Dropped some bigger bombs, learned some cooler dogfighting tricks, did the carrier thing again...thought I was the man. Got to the fleet and got my ass handed to me several times and realized, no, no, no, I am NOT the man. And I will freely admit, when you get that glimpse of realization at just how much you don't know, its rather eye opening to say the least, even more so when you realize you don't even know what you don't know.

I agree with the answers above that fall in line with it matters not how many hours you have, but what you learned along the way in getting the hours you have.
