Blujay-
You appear to be young and naive. Visit baseops.net (USAF) and airwarriors.com (USN/USMC) and READ. Once you have some more perspective you will understand why your first post generated the responses you see above.
As you educate yourself keep in mind that serving your country is the priority. No one service/community/job is better than another. We each do our part for the greater good.
The airsickness will pass.
As far as your hippie, military hating parents go...I am pretty sure they didn't do what their parents wanted either. Next time their views on the military come up tell them we said "your welcome" and we won't charge them anything extra for the right to speak their minds.
Good luck...
