Agreed. An old friend who attended USNA then went on to fly Prowlers, etal for a dozen or so years found that, as a "Ring Knocker", he had so many doors open to him in the business world, he quickly gave up the idea of being an airline pilot and hired on with a Fortune 500 company at a far higher salary than he would ever have received working for an airline. Dylan was right indeed; "the times, they are a changin`".
