Folks,

I apologize for my posts seeming a little laid back. I didn't mean to offend anyone if I did. I am serious about the AF. I guess my personality-type might rub some of y'all the wrong way - oh well...

I will be finishing my 4-year degree before I even think about applying for Officer School. I do not want to go in as an enlisted person. Not that there is anything wrong with that...it's just, I want to fly.

And when/if I would get my 'slot' I would not treat it as a joke or like a 'flying club.' It is a job/tool utilized to serve my country - that is all. I mean, flying is the best job there is, and it is fun (to me) - and there are no if's, ands, or buts about it.

If I got the chance, I would most certainly NOT go in there as a 'know it all'...because to be frank, even as a civilian Instructor...I don't! (Shh...don't tell anyone...) I would go in there with my mind wide open, ready to learn. I mean, flying is flying...but I have heard Military flying is a whole 'nother ball game. Going 215 kts in a King Air VS. Mach 2.0 in a Military jet...its a little different. But anyway, I am getting off track here.

I guess the moral of the story is, that I am not joking on the matter. I take my flying very seriously. (to a point...ya gotta squeeze fun in there) Sorry if I offended anyone in the service or who has served in the past.
