Brian,

Congratulations in advance!  Contrary to what Ben had to say, I found my =
ROTC basic training to be very informative and a lot of fun.

Brian if things haven't changed too much in 30 years LOL you will be =
welcomed to the world of an officer and treated as a future officer.  =
Yes, there will be times of *BS* and harassment for the sake of =
harassment.  However, those times will make it something to talk about =
later.  Why would you be proud of doing something that was a piece of =
cake?

You will probably be invited for dinner to a junior oficer's house.  As =
a pilot cannidate, it will probably be a flight officer.  Over dinner =
and after, he will answer many of the questions you may have on life as =
an Air Force officer.

You will make new friends and bond in ways cilivians will never =
understand.  You will come out of it looking forward to the day you can =
finally pin your gold bars (actually your mother will pin them on you) =
upon your uniform and join your borther and sister officers in the =
greatest Air force in the world.

Best to you son,

John
Former Captain, USAF

    Hey guys,

    Just thought I would warn all of the Usual Suspects. I will be going =
gradually insane, spanning the next two weeks until 3 PM June 23, at =
which point I will be stark raving mad.

    Why, you ask? Well, 3PM June 23 I will be taking my PPL checkride. =
Bloody-ass-early June 24 I will be getting on a plane and flying to =
luxurious Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota for a month of getting yelled at, =
AKA "Field Training." In between now and then I need to make sure I know =
everything I need to know and have everything I need to have for both, =
and somehow or another come up with the money for this damn flying =
business. Speaking of which, should you hear anything on the news about =
a string of daring bank robberies in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area, it =
definitely isn't me. Just in case anyone asks.

    *twitch*
