Tell him to become a pilot. Maybe enlisted in the AF is different though.

They still have pilots in the Air Force? Mechanics at least won't be automated away before he hits 30.

He's off to a good start. Already knows how to use his Air Force gloves.

What brought this about is we were talking about how it was 50 years ago in two weeks (2/7/65) that Pleiku was hit badly by mortars/rockets, etc. dang near overrun. My dad has a recording he made from there during that time to my mom and we won't play it anymore but I was telling the boy just because you're on a maintenance stand doesn't mean you're golden. He wants to do it. But he also wants to be a pilot/astronaut. Or "a myth buster."

We will see. Kid is smart. Took ACT in 7th grade and got a 26....31 on Science. cheers

Classic. Just missing his pilot shades and pens sticking out of his pocket.

All kidding aside, great looking kid sir.
