Good for you 135guy! Your part of another "greatest generation".
Uh, BTDT myself, only on the Navy side, active duty for 12 years. I never said it wasn't a great and honorable way to go. You HAVE to want to serve in your heart above just wanting to be a pilot. I've seen a LOT of bitter puppies that bit off more than they could chew after flight school and found out what the real fleet is all about.
