Call it the metro-sexualization of aviation.
heee heeee, he said "metro-sexualization"......
Call it the metro-sexualization of aviation.
my mistake, I was tired when typing. SWO pin or Aviator wings....Wings?... You do know what site you're on right?...
...The dedication, sacrifice, hard work, and committment that aviators must possess virtually every day is far more than the average joe can take. I consider this a flaw that many guys have, because they are humble and self-deprecating despite the cliche of the super cocky aviator.
I've told this to countless upgraders and students alike. Call it the metro-sexualization of aviation. After being around a while, nuggets and even some jo's fall into this mentality of average-ness. It's bullshit, avaitors are kickass, the general envy of just about everyone, and we work really hard to wake up every morning and wear our wings.
I would much rather be an average naval aviator than an above average insurance salesman.
dunno, I think the humility and sense of humor shown by 99% of aviation types (and most military personnel in general) is a huge asset and an admirable trait.
