Zoomies, everyone shows up at UPT with "plans." "I'm gonna fly Vipers then I'm gonna get stationed at Nellis then I'm gonna be a weapons officer then I'm gonna be a Thunderbird, then I'm gonna be awesome and marry a hot chick then I'm gonna get out and buy a house in Denver get hired by United, ski all the time, fly Vipers in the guard cause everyone wants me then I'll be a 40 year old 777 pilot making a gazillion dollars and everything is gonna be awesome and, by the way, when is my dollar ride?". Things change when you get there. You cant predict the future, all you can do is the best you can where you are at and hope for the best. The AF and the industry are more than capable of breaking your heart any time along the way. Don't make plans beyond becoming a pilot!
