Have you served your country?

If not, do you intend to?

Yep, 4 years in the USAF. It's what got me a foundation to get into college and get started in life.

@xRedx Nope. There are actually very few pilots in the USAF. I think only something like 0.05% of the total people in the Air Force. I worked with electronics and computers in offices. The only time I ever saw a plane was when I went to the display field we had at the base.

@Reboot wow, only very few are pilots then. I can imagine the amount of training is put into becoming a pilot
Reboot · 46-50, M
@xRedx Yea, to start with you have to have a degree. The HUGE majority of people joining the military are fresh high school graduates looking for a job or a way to pay for college. After having a degree there's OCS, a ton of medical testing and then about 4 levels of pilot training that takes about a year to complete. After that you're a pilot.

Most people who work to become a pilot are in it for the long haul and make a career out of it.

My sis was in the forces for 14 years. Royal Navy. I applied for RAF a long time ago....
Both my brothers applied. one for the army and one for the marines.

@Intissima Did they draft you?

No and no. Respect to those who fight/fought for this country. There isn’t enough money in the world to get me to fight for the US.
sassypants · 36-40, F
No but I support those who have and currently serve. I am marrying a man who serves and I'm very proud of him.

@sassypants That's nice to hear, he's a good man

@MasterLee I've been thinking of enrolling for the USAF or with the Navy
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@xRedx I recommend either. Very rewarding.

I want to, I’ll enlist this summer.

heh. and then the country serves you like wasted food for the dumpster to rot and still get fined because they took all your money for waste disposal and used it for their 4th jet.

In the army? Nope, cuz the mandatory service stopped a couple of years before my turn, etc.

I tried twice, but I destroyed my knee playing football and failed the physical.
