Please permit a dissenting voice. I enlisted into he Army in 1968 to avoid the possibility of being inducted into the Marines.
From the time I started at Ft Dix, NJ until I was realeased, the operative code was "FTA." Almost ALL of us hated the Army. The higher our educational level, the more we despised the Military. The only "pro-military" people we ran up against were (mostly) REMFS, Lifers and losers who couldn't make it outside in the "real World."
Now, it appears that all of the guys of that age were eager to join up, that we wanted to preserve your way of life and protect your right to vote. Nothing could be farther from the truth. We hated the War, we hated the Draft and we hated the Old Men who sent us to die for their fantasies. When I see a young person in the Military now, I just feel a sense of sorrow and loss. I respect them but I hope for so much MORE for them after the military.
US Air Force, 1979-1983 stationed at Aviano AB Italy & Luke AFB in AZ.
Worked on air-air & air-ground missiles.
Both Terry & I served in the Canadian Air Force Reserve
Myself 8 years, Terry retired after 17 years.
I am strongly considering applying for OTS and becoming a commissioned officer in the USAF. I have a degree in aerospace engineering, and those that I've talked to say that I should pursue being a pilot. If anyone has any tips/insight, feel free to let me know.
