In 1967 I turned down a cross-service commission as an Army 2nd Lt to fly rotary wings in Viet Nam (I was an Air Force Sgt). Average life span of a 'copter pilot was 10 missions. So they made me a gunner on a B52 instead.

You should have taken it. It was uhhh---ummm----interesting at the least. The years afterwards were just plain fun.
