35 years ago today I joined the USAF, wow, how time flies.
Kudos.
I came very close to attending USAF Academy. Rep. Hastert had even submitted recommendation for me.
Then I found out that since I didn't have 20/20 vision, they would only let me fly helicopters.
Decided not to go. You can't be Maverick in a helicopter...
This policy does help explain why we seem to have so many helicopter crashes though.
"Sir, incoming! incoming!"
*squints* I don't see nothin'...
