"In my experience..."
Then again, some 2LT's hit the sandbox a few months after getting commissioned. Not everybody gets pretty blue uniforms to go to Jet Camp. I believe Blkflyer (love the avatar btw) was trying to put things in perspective. There is more to the military than Jet Camp and Uncle Sam's Armed Flying club.
