[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1114644, member: 198"] I say I was in the Air Force but not the military. LOL! Many of us current and former "Airmen" know that it is a joke among the other branches and for the most part it is kinda true. However, most of us, and the more informed among the other branches and those that never served, know that there is plenty of "military" about the Air Force. The Air Force has a rank structure and follows the UCMJ just like all of the other branches. Military discipline is definitely there.There is also marching but not as much of it. So, basically the Air Force [B]IS [/B]"military" but not quite as strict. My problem with the AF is that it really doesn't need to be a separate branch. I huge percentage of all of the MOS's (AFSCs in Air Force terminology) only exist simply because the bases exist. Such as admin, medical, logistical, fire protection, police, etc.. Take away all of those and the jobs that are actually critical could be rolled back into the Army. Those jobs are definitely just as important as any that most people would consider "military", "gung ho", or "boots on the ground" type of jobs. The AF does actually have some of those too but not many. Do I think my time in the AF helped me as a driver? Maybe a little. Only because I chose to continue following some of the things I learned in the AF. Their motto is "Integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do." By sticking to that I do pretty good as a driver. I agree that there are some veterans that try and milk the status for all it's worth. But I think they are in the minority. I do believe that a veteran deserves at least a some consideration over others in certain situations but as far as applying things learned in the military towards a civilian job to make that person a better employee.....that depends entirely on the individual. Also.....all my time as a part-timer did help prepare me for driving. I was never a preloader but I did double shift on preload quite a bit. [/QUOTE]
