its in yalls hands to change the opinion many have of the military and all that yall are involved in.
D. Morris,
First, no one has a right to serve in the U.S. military. It is a privilege and a responsibility to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces. Not everyone earns that privilege or is deemed worthy of the responsibility. Furthermore, military flight programs are selective, not welfare programs. Thousands of folks are rejected yearly.
Second, I didn't join the USAF to change public opinion. I raised my hand to serve my country as needed and determined by those appointed above me. If doing my duty honorably with dignity has a positive effective on that opinion well that's just a bonus. Service is often thankless. Ask a Vietnam Vet the next time you see one.
Most Americans have a very positive image of the U.S. military. If a portion of teenagers and young twenty somethings think less of our military, that is their right, courtesy of many brave men and women who lost their lives to provide that right.
Check your emotion at the door before entering this forum, and never bring it into a cockpit. Your apology will carry far more weight without all the whining attached to it. Simply state your apology and move on.
And as far as your comment "i only consider the navy, corps , and army as service", nice way to insult every USAF officer on this forum. Did they teach you that at your Univ. or where you born with the ability to offend people?
Do yourself a favor...log off this forum and go to your library and check out "How to Win Friends and Influence People"
Please don't even think about thinking of replying. Cut your losses, change you name, and pray. You're in way over your head and the water rising. There are too many sharp military officers on this forum who will simply toy with you.
Now, logoff the computer and head to the library.
