As mentioned, some don’t have the good genes in their mid/late 40’s despite hard work.

But god bless you for not having multiple sport/MX/mountain bike bike/ATV, etc injuries when you were young....
Keep sporting those cool T-shirt’s at the VFW...
The remaining WWII, Korea, and Vietnam guys probably think you’re Bravo Zulu

I was annoyed with dude because he's spewing uninformed nonsense about the military so in response I shared a little about myself for context (otherwise he'd assume I was an AMC pilot or something). Of course it was 2100 on 17 Mar, so I'd had a drink or two
But that OAF thing is pretty funny. That's not me, no folding knife clipped to my pocket. I was "OAF", and pretty proud of it, back in the day, that was of course the whole point. Hard to do that kind of job if you're not into it. But you wouldn't know it if you met me today.

A surprising number of fighter guys finished in heavies due to back and neck injuries. There is even a rubber stamp to effect “not authorized for ejection seat assignment”.

To the OP:
I wanted the fastest possible track to becoming an airline pilot and the regionals were hiring, so after college it was either spend a year or two building enough time to go fly an RJ or pursue a military career. Basically, I had no interest in military flying and had a huge interest in airline flying.
