Have you seen this National Guard commercial they play at movie theatres?

The music reminds of of those old Marine commercials where the guy is climbing a mountain to kill a cartoon dragon with a sword. This commerical is way better because it shows what the National Guard actually does, in sort of a Michael Bay stylized way, but you still get the point.

BTW here is the commercial from the 80's that got me to join the Marines

I don't about the Army, but I was a former Navy Aviation Recruiter. I know that physiological disqualification from any military flight-training program was an automatic disqualification from applying for Navy/USMC/USCG flt training both pilot and NFO. BTW I did OK airsickness wise as a pilot, but sitting sideways at the Nav station in the back of the P-3 at low altitude, I was airsick a lot

Thank you all for the words. If anyone has a friend that went army after washing out of upt...please PM me. It would be so appreciated. I know this will work. I just have hold on.

Depends on how one handles airsickness.
I know a handful of guys who made it through UPT without completely getting over airsickness. I think one of them is even flying Vipers. As long as it did not impact flying, it was okay (ie. a quick puke and back to business, if you know what I mean).
I had a student who puked on every sortie AND he could not stay focused because of airsickness. He ended up washing out.
