Ignore the uptights. I don't think it is a myth that quite a few military pilots think they're hot stuff. Take in the advice you've been given for consideration.
Also, do you want to fly fixed-wing or helicopters? I'm pretty sure they don't sudden;y switch you over from f-16's to blackhawk helicopters.
SoCal -
You are starting to sound immature and you don't seem to like the type of advice you are getting on here and you seem to have fairly thin skin.
As for the bolded above - two points.
LEARN to deal with the "uptights" because you will be working for them, have them working for you, flying with them, and maybe even going to war with them. Ignore them and it will be the end of you.
Second. You're darn right military pilots think they are "hot stuff". If you don't - then you don't belong in military aviation. It is an incredibly competitive environment and you had better think you are good at your job or again - it will be the end of you
By that I mean professionally. It is better you learn this now than checking into your first unit (of any kind).
Yes blujay - listen to SoCal. Ignore the people living it - some for longer than SoCal has been alive.
I'm a moderator here. It is my job to guide thread, help people out, answer questions, and handle problem children when they appear; but I also won't sit idlely by and listen to blatant misinformation and genuine crap.
