the flight spots. Everyone wants to fly jets, they are the rock stars

I believe that admission to service schools is dependent on passing an entrance exam, no matter who y'are. Could be wrong but I'd like proof of that, please.

Concerning navy pilots, I don't think they're especially impressed by anything other than themselves. Next is another navy pilot, none of whom are quite good enough. They have a harsh method of dealing with not measuring up. I don't think it involves playing who's yer daddy.
