Mirrors in the jet are for field-grade BFM in flight, for admiring yourself on the ground.

Ok, never repeat any of that in any squadron ever...and you clearly haven't spent any amount of time around mil squadrons.

Congrats, you've earned your first callsign: Gazer.

Pilots who attended the Air Force Academy (the Zoo) are slightly greater degenerate, social misfits than non Academy pilots.

Hey Gazer,

On a serious note. You being from the City and all. You'll have to understand that most AF pilots are homophobic. Not that we're afraid of them, we just don't like them. So, any reference that might sound a little gay is going to get jumped on (so to speak). If you get a slot (sts) you'll figure it all out.

Speak for yourself. I don't judge.

Then again, I used to be a Nav, and it helps to be partly gay to get into Nav school. (or the Navy)

I wouldn't know..I usually asked the co-pilot to dig one out of her purse.

I don't like them either. I'm a right winger. The city is not for me.


Is there a height requirement to be a pilot?

I wouldn't need to say any of this, they will be able to see me. At least most of you appreciate my sense of humor.

Slice, what kind of plane did you fly while you were in the military?
