"They had spent a couple of days bouncing between the ground and 12 inches off the ground while the Air Farce ran bombs around their fire base to keep the enemy off of them. Seems that no one else could get there."

It's not an issue of being needed. It's an issue of the nature of the job. Most AF jobs are like a civilian's job. 8 hours, go home. The quality of life is so good in the AF that the turnover is small, lots of lifers.

There's no denying that. Army/Navy/Marines all have aspects to the job that makes it suck. A lot more than the AF.

No doubt about that at all!
I didn't intend to "start" anything - all good natured.
One of my friends I have been working with for years was in the Marines. I work with two others from the Navy and several Army guys. We've all been out 20 years or more and the bantering still goes on. Just in fun my FRiend, just in fun.
