I wasn’t destined for military service as I was the first member of my family in history to go to college. My fathers dying wish ( WWII/Korean veteran) was for me to go to college out of HS. It was also pre 9/11. By the time 9/11 came I was already a pilot too old to try flying for the military . I did attempt to join the NYFD post 9/11 but their requirements to have paramedic qualifications was a hurdle.
Is that you’re only retort?
