Well, you won't see action in the air force. Since when did the Air Force have tanks?

Look. Clear and simple choice. Life of pain with glory and honor. or life of ease with no glory and no honor. One or the other.

It is a hard choice. But you have to look deep in your heart and see who you are. Then you will know the answer. If the hard road was meant for you, then it will call to you. It will pull on your heart with a siren song. If you feel the pull, then you have no choice. You have to go the hard road. Otherwise, you will always hate yourself and wonder "what could have been" if only you had the balls.

I know you have some health problems. Only you know if you are malingering or not. Plenty of guys say they hurt, but really they are afraid. I am not saying you are one way or the other.

I am saying you should not cheat yourself out of your own dream. You really can do it!

But be enlisted first.
