Aha! No worries Eagl, after those JG 14 years I couldn't wing with drex in any type of tournament. Him in that big green reefer-47 I'd have JG 14 flashbacks and be shooting him every sortie.

Eagl, a potential favor to ask of you. A very good friend's Brother is graduating USAF academy. He's going to flight school and of course wants to shoot bad guys down. Apparently he's got something like 1 year to get his basic certifications on his own before he reports for 'official' training?
Anyways, what are the odds of him coming out to see you for a long weekend, getting some gouge on what to be prepared for, buying you and your squadronmates lots of beers, etc.?
In my experience it always helps to be 'comfortable' with the people who are what you want to be (also helps alot with motivation when things get toejamty during the 'want to be' times). Let me know...

...he seems to be a good kid. I'm sure he'd be all ears when hanging out with you guys.
