Is there no one in this forum who will speak the truth?
We flare to land because we can. We don't squat to pee. We don't iron
our flight suits, they look that way because we put a clean one on
every day and it hasn't been through the ship's laundry.
We have a drink before meals and afterward as well. There's an O'Club
at our operating location. We can leave the water running when we
shower. They wash our airplanes so they don't look like something out
of "Junkyard Wars" or "Mad Max".
And, it is a helluva lot warmer in Colorado Springs in the winter than
either West Point or Annapolis.
