I remember reading your posts when you were in the middle of the ANG application process. I'd say I agree, you def made it to the right seat of a major in less time than had you gone military. I'd say all things considered, things worked out as they should have for ya.Originally Posted by BoilerUP
I tried. Three times, actually - ROTC, active duty and ANG. Three different medical DQs, culminating in a DQ at Medical Flight Screening for a medical condition that isn't actually a medical condition since AF Medicine is stuck in the 1960s.Do I regret it?

Active duty is certainly not all that it's cracked up to be. Things have also degraded dramatically in the AFRC and ANG from the time when you were applying, though I can't say it wouldn't have been worth your time, airline aspirations notwithstanding. Water under the bridge really.
