I powered on and moved flight controls in an F-16 today

[Bones4]

Troubleshooting flight controls. It didn't feel like I thought a jet would feel. The stick is on the right console and doesn't move. It just budges. It literally only moves like a half inch to roll or pitch. Rudders are pretty standard (pedals).  I could feel the entire jet shake when the horizontal stabilizers moved.

stuff was kickass.

Congrats, sounds fun.

I haven't payed much attention to your whole Air Force situation, what exactly are you doing/going to be doing?

Are you doing a 4 year ToD or a 20 year career?
My sister is currently in her third year of ROTC for the Air Force at Virginia Tech
