Okay then, I'm going to go use the search function and build up some knowledge before I come back here.

I would like to add that the military is as foreign to me as anything. I was raised by a rabidly anti-war Dad and a mom from a military family who hated it. I have no idea what it is like, and the little knowledge I do have comes from them, who are quite biased. So please, I urge some of you to have at least an ounce of self control when responding to some of my questions which you may or may not deem stupid. I apologize if being a Helo pilot does not appeal to me. I was raised since birth to hate the military. I'm willing to learn about the military before I make a decision. Don't give me a bad impression of service members so early in my search.

Also keep in mind that any comment I make that may seem negative is simply out of ignorance, and not of malice.
