I'll be the asshole, for fuck sake, seems like I'm the only one that can curse around here. The core of Air Force Officer training, is to be an officer, not a pilot. While I agree that the "Air" Force's job is to fight and win in the skies it takes more than us. I also agree that pilots lead the force, therefore, we are the ones that should be in charge someday when we get experienced and seasoned enough, sometimes chosen while we are young Lt's, which is a tragedy. My point is, if you want to change it, it needs change from the bottom up, not while you are a captain, but at the basic training level. I do not agree with enlisted aviators on many levels, but maybe warrant officers or a direct commission to the ANG of AFRC through the active duty model (sorry ANG and AFRC, you do need some help sometimes). If you wanted to join a flying club, try your local FBO, or the U-2 program, which are just rumors I hear.
