As far as AD,listen to what Herc says! If you just want to fly, then join the Guard! Become a part-timer and enjoy "just being a pilot," for the military...it's a great gig. Your additional duty will be your civilian job!

Do you have something against Tankers? Seems like a good gig! This is a pilot forum...most of the pilots that I knew, just wanted to fly for the Air Force.

Who cares...
I have nothing for people who get offended by such trivial things! Really you're insulted because a guy says he wants to only be a pilot. He didn't say that you suck because you're a mx officer, that was just your chosen path. I have great respect for all jobs in the military, except ammo...they suck
! . But, if you have some underlying sense of inadequacy because you're not a pilot, that's your problem! (not necessarily directed at you d3c0y...just shoe clerks that have it out for pilots)
note: ammo joke is from my enlisted day...don't get your panties in a wad!

As do most of us when we joined the military to be pilots. I know, all I wanted to do is fly...still feel the same way. But as with most of us, we figure it out and change our thinking. But as a punk, it's his job to fly his a$$ off, learn, and be the best pilot he can. All the other stuff will fall into place later in his career.
