Take El Tee's test battery on how much advice you can give.
I have been accepted to a commisioning program. If you can answer yes, congratulations, you can give advice on how to get in.
I am currently in OCS/TBS or a pipeline. If you answered yes, congratulations, you are qualified to advise on getting in, your commissioning program and your pipeline.
I loooked at my uniform this morning and saw both wings and a deployment ribbon. Congratulations, you have walked the walk. You can dispense wisdom at will but be ready to get called on it if you are full of crap.
If you did not answer yes to any of the above questions, you can give advice on cars, guns, college girls, football, onlinegames, whatever. Just please don't pass out second-hand knowledge on aviation because "You know a guy."
I looked at my left hand and saw a wedding ring. Congratulations, you can keep your mouth shut because you are automatically wrong about anything you say.
Very Respectfully,
El TEE
BTW this list is not exhaustive, feel free to add at will.
