If you consider not tolerating hate, violence and anger being spewed out on you day after day then I guess I missed out on the "upgrades". I dont have a problem with the whole team work thing or making contributions or being selfless, its the means the military uses to get there which involves spewing hatred, or a perception of hatred which has the same negitive effects. Making sacrafices is sometimes nessicary but it is never acceptable to sacrafice your religious beliefs, the DIs tryed to justify swearing in basic by saying every now and then everyone slips up and that because I watch a rated R movie once in a while that justifies them to spew anger and swearing at me constantly which is completley different story. Thats like saying that becasue I got annoied at someone in traffic some time in the past it justifies them to spew out every immaginable hatefull thing they can think of, that doesent make any sense. So if I have a "glitch" I should consider myself blessed.

Whoa, rppearso:

Don't take this the wrong way, dude, but with that " Born Again " attitude, maybe instead of the US Army you should have joined the Salvation Army.. though I don't think they have an ' official ' air arm, LOL!!

my church does have a need for a pilot, so as soon as I get my licence I can hopefully fly for my church from time to time. Its not like I would be flying F-22's for the army anyways, I should have taken the hint when the air force turned me down. The black hawks we have up here are well maintained but not exactly the creme de la creme of technology.
