"Air Force officer training school"

a hearty lol from the gut

I also said the "average" player. I doubt you even passed the pre-req classes with that kind of reading comprehension.

Oh the irony ...

What school did you go to or look at that would land you anywhere near 500k? I only shelled out around 140k total after two years.

So you shelled out 140k in two years? Med school is 4 years, double your sum and you're sitting at 280k for 4 years of school. And yes, med school loans for 4 years tend to start at the quarter million mark and go up from there.

I'm happy to serve as a military doc. They're happy to pay for my school. Nice symbiotic relationship there eh?

Reading comprehension.

Please look just a little bit below the surface before you insult other players. Just because it has "freedom" in its name it doesn't necessarily have this result.

On the other hand I would like this thread to sway from glorifying the US military service to praising the Singhalese housewifes.

Praise them. Their country would be worse off without them.

Absolutely not

I've heard about you Army docs. Whatever is wrong, pump them full of morphine. If that doesnt work, get ready to fold a flag and say how brave the guy was.

Sorry swish, I'm not in the army.

At Maxwell?

I'm going down there for AMS sometime next year.

We don't know where we are going because we don't know where we have been.

Yes, I'm at Maxwell. coming for TFOT? From what I understand they aren't going to separately train ANG, AD, and Reserve any more.

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.
