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.
No one knows how well they can fly, until they try it. He seems to be doing it rather well. He wanted to be a close air support pilot, for the Army, but they assigned him to fly a different mission, but he tried. 👍

The Army has the highest percentage of black people, just saying…
