I was in the USAF for 20 years, and sat in a chair my whole career, but I always had a PAR or ASR in front of me. I was always in an adversarial relationship with commissioned officers, so I told my son, to become an officer. He took my advice, and now is a USAF officer and pilot.

well good for him! :) at least he got/gets to be a pilot.
my eyes disqualified me.
I’ve had some good experience with APACHE on AF ranges.
