Women in combat (but not really) Vol. III

Don't be so testy.
I'm sure you don't need any.

 

Good. The world needs more philosophy majors working at Starbucks.

 

No one needs any. And I cannot afford the amount I would need.

 

Hahahahaha I don't care what it is, but I like green.

 

The helmet, visor and O2 mask works wonders...
Even a nerd can look cool.

 

Hey, if wearing their sisters pants, belts, make up, and having a Liberal Arts degree helps them make my coffee faster, by all means.

 

Also on the plus side, I think that makes them sterile.

 

Yeap, plus, they're the kind of guys women wouldn't even screw on a dare.

 

Leave the Marines out of this please.

 

HA!

 

Air Force women are confused by this statement.

 

I thought all pilots were nerds? Engineering majors, math majors, techno geeks etc. etc.

 

Engineering degrees help...but I for one was neither a Math nor Engineering major.

"Flight Science"
Fancy name for aeronautical studies which included pilot training up to an Instrument rating and multi-engine...plus a CFI. (certified flight instructor)

There was math and physics coursework but I'm far from qualified to be a mechanical engineer or a physicist like Up on the Governor.

With so few pilot slots opening up, and 50% automatically go to Air Force Academy graduates...having a mechanical engineering degree is for sure an advantage. However so was already having some flight training under your belt.

Just depends really, there's no guaranteed path outside of the Air Force Academy no matter what you study. Poor vision alone, knocks a lot of candidates out regardless of their collegiate academic pedigree...but I think they accept LASIK correction.now

 

LMAO. Neither am I.

They accept LASIK, PRK, and probably the guy in the back alley. There was a kid that said his vision was as bad as -7.00 or something and he got his FC1 after corrective surgery. They will waive almost anything it seems. Got eight fingers? AWESOME!

 

Interesting. Needless to say in my "day" LASIK hadn't been invented yet, or at least perfected. Poor vision meant you're the guy in back.
Don't sell yourself short there Gov., MIT produces it's share of pilots.

 

I heard Naval Aviators get more tail.

 

Not really. It is not a Det really known for having cadets interested in rated positions. A girl graduated from there a few years ago (I will keep her name private) and was one of the few rated officers in a little while. Love her to death though, so MIT produces the best.

 

Tailhook and all.

 

I guess if you want to land on a floating postage stamp and go to sea for months at a time with 5,000 other men...

go for it...

 

Det 207 representing.

MIT produces...
the 2nd best.

 

sometimes it's even with a woman.

 

Hahahaha. Well done, sir.

 

Where were we.
Women in combat...

I'm all for it.

 

I know you're just a little bit envious of Top Gun and An Officer and a Gentleman.

 

Can I sig these?

Just because Val Kilmer was in both Real Genius and Top Gun doesn't mean...
