KCott and I are proud members of the 35 and alive crowd. Shortly after we left... well thats when shit got real.
As for the homos wearing flight suits to class, its turbo gay, but so is talking about a flight suit like its a fucking pair of wings. Give me a break. All sorts of people wear flight suits that dont fly, and haven't 'earned' them. When I was at HS-6 as a mid the intel officer wore a flight suit most days, at 30 our Suppo (a warrant) wears a flight suit from time to time. Its telling that most of the people who are worried about 'earning' a flight suit are also folks who haven't earned wings yet. Don't get all wrapped up about it, soon enough you'll have the goods and you'll realize the only things that are worth getting spun up about that you earned that others didn't are your wings and your commission. The flight suit is simply an awesome perk of the job.
As for Warrior day, the constant fellating of egos that goes on at commissioning sources is not limited to just the Academy. They just do it like they do everything else... With a lot more organization and a hell of a lot more money.
