My plan as a kid was to go to the AF academy and become a pilot. But back stateside, after being overseas with Dad for a long time, my grades weren't the best . Also hanging with undesirables. Anyhow, Dad retired in 74 E8 AF, I saw they gave him $600 a month... I was like WTF???? I'll go my own way and make more. And did. But I'm sure I missed the fun and comradery of the service, and the chance to Fly....
