Because if you end up with a Squadron of only CDRs & Hinges, there'd be no ENSs/JGs to hassle, or LTs to referee. JOs, commonly known as 'flak magnets'!

Yep, someone has to fly when there's no "Commander's Moon" and it's dark and stormy...
Me, an OCS hopeful, after reading this thread.
We call those places "The Reserves."
Please, more new guys, come to AW and tell us your problems. We'd love to help...
*grabs popcorn and waits*
I choose to believe that "the taxpayers" got WAAAY MORE than they could ever pay in that deal.

Okay, so after reading all of your wonderful, caring, and downright feelgood responses (some of you are true wordsmiths), I decided the best course of action would be to harden the fuck up. This is best vocalized here:
My reaction after reading some of this thread was basically filled with self loathing at my inadequacies, entitlement, etc. I realized I'll have to discard those if I want to make it, guess that's that. I called up my friend and told him I probably wouldn't be able to make it due to OCS. He was actually congratulating me on making it and saying essentially, "Fuck my wedding, go learn to fly planes." I guess it makes sense since his brother is an NFO and he grew up with him missing lots of shit due to the job. Thanks for the dose of reality, AW. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to burn off some of this motivational energy at the gym.

That's cool Ribwich... I love when a well-intentioned "dogpile" turns that topside lightbulb flashing ON.
Too often, reality (not what they wanted to hear), simply angers the OP, driving them into digging a deeper & deeper hole. Eventually, with a final departing sarcastic grenade, into eternal 'lurkism' (thankfully)!Your best friend appears to be just that, good on him!

Glad I could lead by example if this comes true.

I'm glad you got it.. Far too many guys think we are just assholes when we jump on shit like this.
The amount of pain you just got saved in your career by an early adjustment.. Is a lot.
