Pardon my Ignorance, But after reading this entire post I'm dang near just annoyed with it. Implying a military pilot is better than any civillian pilot to me is kind of like saying. MP's or SP's are better at policing than a civillian police officer??? Are they both not dedicated? Are they both not professional? I have seen some egos and some humble statements from both sides here and I think we should (from both sides) respect one another. I could rant my own opinion but I will save your time. Fact Is we All (I hope) Love flying. I do. Hey Jog your memory with this. Why do you fly? What was it that got you going and said to yourself (I want to fly)? I bet you all would have some cool stories...
