I am an aviator. Infantry and Armor dudes chill in MRAPs, not me. I will be mostly dropping infantry squads on air assaults and flying MEDEVAC. My sergeants do maintenance on aircraft. Grunts don't really hate officers either since they are reliant on us for leadership and direction. Only the Soldiers who don't understand the nature of our responsibilities hate officers because me make them do stuff.
Are you gonna fly PaveHawks? Anyway, god bless you, and I hope for your safe return. Thank you for your service. And I gotta ask, were you in the Civil Air Patrol?
Another thing, I flew a Helicopter the other day, it is pretty damn fun. Again, thank you for your service!
