Law enforcement career.

Some one agrees.

When I say I don't like cops because a lot of them abuse their power I get a bunch of crap. Nothing more american than not trusting cops or the tax man.

Well i'm determined to not be one of those power abuses. Its not justifiable how abusive they can be.

Ive met a few good cops....a very few. most are power hungry scum who think they are better then the "civs".

I mean I don't want to go through with the surgery, it scares me.
I've been saying stuff about what the government has been doing with Osama's body. Its not an issue anymore trust me, I'd just like to put it behind me?

Hey F22, I'm Penguin, and I'm a certified wimp- look, it's even stamped on my backside.  I thought that surgery would be awful too, but when I had my deviated septum fixed, it didn't hurt at all thanks to the anaesthesia.  There's nothing to fear (except death, but we can assume that you don't fear death since you wish to join the Air Force).  Furthermore, find something you like and pursue it, no matter what the cost.  Nothing is worth a life full of 'what ifs'.

Not to hijack, but if you really want to get into the history books, join NASA (it's where I plan on going).  You get decent pay (60,000-100,000 annual salary) with good benefits, and there's an intangible sense of working toward something greater than profit margins.

I mean I want to just do medivac or fly the police chopper in Gwinnett county, that was my main motive do to before I retire, or before that do commercial air travel. But you know if you want to join NASA you have my full support mate.  and thanks for the support.

You MUST be young. Don't worry, if you're at all adventurous or athletic, you'll get lots of chances to experience some real pain. Anesthesia will only go so far - the rest you get to feel. Enjoy it - it's really not that bad and experience enough of it and you'll lose that wimp stamp.

Second, you're entirely right about what ifs. Most of my memories from my teens, 20's, and 30's are real grins - so long as I'm thinking about times I hung it out there. Thinking about something that I didn't do is usually a frowner. A wise man once said that hell is full of all the girls you could've flicked but didn't. The statement can be applied more generally.

As for NASA, I started my career there (after grad school) in Wind Tunnel Test at Ames. I don't recommend civil service if you're ambitious or talented but it's very secure if you're not. At the same time, it's a decent resume tick and if it doesn't suit you you can move on. As far as something "greater than" I think you're mildly delusional to think that a bureaucrat's political priorities (most of what Nasa does is bent toward politics, imj) are somehow better or more honest than the attempt to create real products that real people find useful enough to be willing to pay real money - but that's just me. Like I say, experiment for yourself.

Above all DON'T WASTE A PILE OF TIME PLAYING COMPUTER GAMES.

Thus spake the old-ish man.

I don't anyway, but you provide a very good point. But when I get home from school I usually go out on my bike. I use my phone to comment, and trust me it isn't easy. But I like to spend most of my day riding around my town when i'm not at school, but i'm not addicted to my phone either before you say.

good you may make a good cop then.

What I meant was officers who abuse power, its not justifiable, I stand up for myself but I don't take abuse.

By 'join NASA', I meant 'to join those who boldly go'.  I want to become an astronaut.  Yes, it sounds childish but others have done it; if I can't, then that's one fewer 'what if' to worry about.  It's not for those without talent (a PhD isn't something to take lightly).  I love science, space, and engineering.  I just don't know if I can compete with the other candidates (who seem to be superbeings). 

I don't understand your point about politics though, would you please explain?   However, the 'greater than myself' thing was probably a result of watching the ISS live feed for too long and not getting enough sleep.   Doh!

My long term goal is also to be an astronaut, good luck.  I have been reconsidering that path however, due to SpaceX's accomplishments.
