I've been lurking on these boards for a long time and for some reason decided to introduce myself.
So hi.
Welcome to EverCrest.

I think you're darned close to the age limit for entering flying training for the AF. If you're really interested, find out quickly what the requirements are. If you don't want to fly, it shouldn't matter.
Yeah I definitely want to fly. The AF was just an idea I had to get some flight experience or possibly even a way to help pay the costs of flight training. I looked up the age requirements and it said I have to be in basic training before age 28. If it's different for pilots I doubt I could get my bachelor's in time. Admittedly I know very little about joining the military and the options available to me. Most of what I know is what I've heard from other people.
I signed up for classes at the last minute this fall without really thinking things through, mostly just to get things moving.

Only officers can fly. Officers don't go to basic. And being accepted on commision does not mean that you will recieve flight training.
Welcome.

Well you have plenty military people on the board to ask if you want. We've got reps of the Air Force, Navy, Marines, and we have an Ex-Army I believe.

Derek, You're breaking our streak here. You need to make your next post a request for StarCraft porn.
Pffft, Starcraft porn is old news, WoW porn is where it is at
I just sprayed a hornet's nest with insecticide! Holy SHIT were they pissed!
I ran off and did not get stung, though, and they are curling up and dying as we speak! Hooray!

Speaking of flying insects....
We had a pressurization gripe on our plane a few days ago. We had the electricians look at it, life support, airframes, etc. We even had the civillian contractors come out. Could figure out what happened.
Well, later on, after we all were sitting there scratching our heads, we decided to flush the engines.
Know what came out?
A mud-dauber.
One little bug can disrupt the pressurization system of an entire plane.

Maradon! stopped beating up furries long enough to write:
What the fuck is a mud-dauber?
A wasp.

Maradon! spewed forth this undeniable truth:

It's a type of wasp that uses mud as a sort of plaster when constructing it's nest. Frequent in swampy/farm/rural areas. Had them all over the damned place in North Carolina. Pains in the ASS.

They aren't nearly as agressive as normal wasps/hornets, though. I've never heard of anyone being stung by one.
