Considering the military route.

[JimNtexas]

That's the #1 bad side to the military...all the "fast burners" who are so intent on one day commanding a squadron or pinning on O-6 that they'll stab you in the back if you're not watching it. And those are the very same guys who'll try to make you feel bad for being a poor citizen for not wanting to achieve the same goals they want. If you ask me, 99% of those guys are worse than the person who wants to do an honest 8 years as a mil pilot and fly for the airlines...those guys put service second to their own personal careers. But on paper...they look like the perfect patriot because for them, being "patriotic" and "service before self" are a means to an end...a 25-30 year career that nets them O-6 or above.

Huey Pilot, you said it better than I could. I agree 100%.

Talondriver,

How's life at CBM? Just when I get checked out in the new jet, slots open up. Maybe I'll be back in my favorite XC machine one day.

P.S. How's Sonic doing these days? I wonder how many Girl Scout cookies he bought. He wouldn't give me the pleasure of telling me how many phone calls he got. Somehow I don't think he was happy with me.

Life's good at CBM. Locals are pingin' about the BRAC scare. End of fiscal year no fly...standard. We actually used all our hours this time .
I just saw Sonic today for the first time in a long time. He was out on 45 with some CE guys. WG/CC special project I'm sure.
Not sure about the cookies though. PB went back to the BUFF.
Oh...there's a CJs Pizza on base now!! Woohoo!!
