I get paid to hold a spear.

I have to admit, that first post seemed a bit inflammatory, if not boasting, so I am not surprised to see some of the responses in this post.

And... Air Force, 17 years. I started playing EQ a little after joining.

What I said was boasting? I wanted to share that I thought of things in EQ terms on occasion just to get through some crap. Yes, I guess I did boast that I get paid to hold a spear.

Wow, didn't expect so much discussion, but I guess the internet will internet. I've never been too clear on why people make fun of the Air Force. I'm 31 and married- It's a little too late to turn me into some super soldier and really mold me (I didn't join the Air Force in response to seeing American Sniper.) My job just requires flight status, and other than a pistol, I'll likely never shoot any guns. I am always baffled by why the military is primarily ranked by hardcore-ness. Nuclear, space, and cyberspace stuff is pretty sweet to me and it's easy to argue their importance. I prefer to pretend I'm at Starfleet academy.
