Nope, it was in reply to Helo's most recent post regarding looking for another line of work. Yes, there's good-natured humor in the squadrons and an occasional rough flight debrief. Don't suck and you dont have to be concerned about being "berated".
How exactly do I "suck"?
Creature asked a question about getting a Master's Degree during shore duty and he/she is not even been accepted into flight school yet. My comment was that that person should worry about more pressing issues, like getting winged before he/she worries about being to earn an MBA during shore duty.
Creature responds claiming that I "berated" him for asking that question.
If Creature feels that my comment that he/she should be worried about some significant events prior to getting to shore duty is being berated; then how will he/she respond when they are actually being 'flame sprayed' for something during his/her career?
Hence my comment that if Creature feels my comment was berating, then Creature should not pursue a career in the military since the treatment he/she will receive while actually in the fleet will be far worse than my comment.
