Blastoff -

I certainly don't want to "beat a kid" over the head with this but they need to know what they are getting themselves into. One thing that burns me is when I hear kids (or anybody) in the military complaining about what they expected to do once they join the military. By this I mean - [what do you mean I have to spend time away from my family in the desert? I didn't know I might have to go somewhere and fight] Heck Blastoff - I spend a fair amount of my time practically *recruiting* for the military - but I also believe that they need information - and going into the military thinking that all you're going to do is fly is going to set one up for diappointment.
