I'm thinking Warrant Officer with so many ribbons and medals on his chest he has a hard time standing up straight. I sincerely hope we arent hiring anyone without a degree that isn't a one in a million type.

Even then, most of the guys I know who spent time as enlisted guys in the military did online college on ships or airbases etc. Its cheap and easy to get a crappy degree online these days, especially if you have significant aviation experience.
