No way. Infantry for me thanks.

I would want to be a Sherman tank commander

Given my fair but not perfect eyesight I would probably have washed out of flight school by default just like I did during my pre-WOFT physical in the Army. I passed the funky written test though.

After WW2 avaition, I have always found the Silent Service to be appealing with heroes like Mush Morton and Dick O'Kane. "Hit 'em again and hit 'em Harder" for the late Sam Dealey. If only those Mark 14 exploders were up to snuff.

Hell yeah

Although I'd probably want to fly my P40 straight through to the end... or maybe jump ship and go fly 109s

As soon as they build the first Holodeck (star trek), I'll be first on the list for a WWII simulation. I'll live in my holodeck.. forever and ever

to war? NEVER ...

yeah, I'd open the mouth about bombing the RAF, Enigma code, Ladoga lake, Normandy...you know, all the mean stuff

No, I would've gone to the Soviet Union to volunteer, and very likely died in a rifle division

I don't have the eyesight for it.

I think with my background in hard science I would have been used elsewhere - encryption or R&D would have been interesting.

I would. Then again I would probably end up wiping windscreens, changing engines and gasing them up.... sorta like real life

Youre all ignoring the big question on everyones mind...

Would you shoot chutes?

"Would you shoot chutes?"

Well....maybe.....if they exploded...

udet · « **Reply #26 on:** March 05, 2003, 02:10:08 PM »

best job: test pilot. U don't get shot at, and you get to fly both your country's planes and the enemy's

Strange · « **Reply #27 on:** March 05, 2003, 02:20:36 PM »

Hell yes!!

I'd have to be in the 56th

Just fly my lovely Jug..

My other choice would be a test pilot

Many in my family went, so I'd have gone with them.

No question, I'd go in a heartbeat.
