John H. -- Hope you're having a great day! As my neighbor who flew a B-58 Hustler bomber said. He wanted to die clean. The short answer is there is no good way to die, whether it is face down in the mud, in a flaming plane crash or bobbing in the water, eaten by sharks. Safest is probably a ground crew member in the USAF bit that is also the most boring and the slowest increase in rank. I knew E-5s at Andrews who were on their third hitch. (with the promise the E-6 was coming right away as soon as they sign) I also knew a guy who got his E-7 in the CG for signing up for his second four. I was an REMF in the USAF. Slow rank achievement, but as I told my older SeaBee brother. I worked in an air conditioned electronics shop at Travis AFB while he slept in a tent at China Beach. But fortunately the government takes care of his health problems as he is an Agent Orange vet. Unfortunate because he has AO health problems. I did not want to spend a life at sea, so turned down an offer to get me in the California Maritime Academy. Family friend who was a top graduate who made the offer did not go to sea. Was the harbor master at Saigon. |

I never knew one person who joined a specific branch of the military 'cause it afforded a 'better way to die'. Of the three, I'd take a round to the head and be face down in the mud over the other two. John H. -- Hope you're having a great day! As I said, there is no good way to die. At that point you are looking at the opportunities for advancement. living conditions and the general culture. Yep, but you got to live cleaner while a pilot. |

I'll bet that's not what the football players being recruited by the service academies are thinking when they sign on the dotted line. John H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |
