You have no clue dude.
A wise commander once told me to be 1. humble 2. approachable 3. credible.
You have none of the above. And yes, I loved flying the Viper. And yes, I was in the guard. And no, I didn't think I was the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I loved the mission and loved what I did. And my active duty brethren are just as talented and sharp a group of pilots.
