So as a taxpayer I help fund your $2,000,000.00 TPS education.
So you walk away from it to sit in a Boeing for the next 30 years flying straight and level and not exceeding 30 degrees of bank. A job a C-172 CFI could do.
Meanwhile as taxpayers we pony up another $2,000,000.00 for some other guy to test airplanes.
The government needs to learn from bottom feeders and have a training contract in place.

They do have contracts... They're called service commitments. Most pilots have ones that take them 10-12 years in the service, which often amounts to spending years away from the luxuries of home in austere environments.
If you really don't your tax dollars being spent on the military, renounce your citizenship and call it a day. Otherwise don't **** on other peoples paths in life and they won't be as inclined to **** on yours.

If you don't like something, giving up your citizenship is the LAST thing you should do.

I fulfilled my contact, actually I have had five and all fulfilled (commission, flight training, grad school, GI bill, and TPS). I have done what the government has asked, so go screw yourself.
But your probably right, we should absolutely take the Berny approach and put longer contacts in place, take away more money, and punish successful dudes (and chics) even more; because moral and manning doesn't have enough issues. The AF is on the verge of a stop loss and I don't think the other services are far behind. Or how about let's look at the actual cause and fix the damn problem. Your clueless like many voters in the US, keep trying to figure out how your going to make that ice cream cone lick itself.
And I don't just feed from the bottom, I eat everything I can.

They should impose a long enough contract to prevent people just taking the training and quitting. I'd make it a minimum of 10-11 years. That will weed out the guys just in it for the free training!

What don't you get about TAC's reply? People don't "quit", they fulfill service obligations incurred due to specialized training and schooling. He did so; he fulfilled his end of the agreement.
Uh huh, military training is free...
Talk to the many vets over the years that have lost friends and colleagues in the prime of their life. Free for sure...

A couple of points -
1. You need to get your sarcasm meter recalibrated
2. I served. Free training...and quit. ;-)
I thought guys would 'catch' the 'free', and making it a 10-11 year commitment, as well as guys signing up just to quit...but sarcasm can be tricky.

Good on ya man, I'm USAF 06A myself so a little grayer, but ready to join the ranks of the "bold C-172 pilot ability" to see if I can hack it once I'm done bottom feeding myself and retire from AD.
As for the douchebaggery that ensued...sorry man, should've been a PM. And thanks for your service, you've done more for your country than 99.5% of the American populace just by serving one day in uniform, unlike some who seem to want to comment from a position of ignorance.
From us bottom feeders to everyone else who commented, thanks for speaking out on that ridiculousness.
Now back to the regularly scheduled programming....Who's been hired???
