Why would a person be a dipshit if they get pissed when a person who did worse in Phase 2 than them are flying the aircraft they wanted to fly since they were small children?
By the way, I am not one in the group that you are talking about. One of my best friends is a guard A-10 dude that squeeked into -38's by the skin of his teeth. I don't hate him. He could handle the -38...but I know of at least three gaurd guys who didn't do well enough in -38's to get recommended for IFF, or worse, washed out of IFF. I am not arguing with you on where your guard slots are coming from. Hell, I admit that I am kicking myself for not applying for that guard slot.
But what do I know? I am just one of those bitter FAIPs that got my fighter taken away from me.
Shortbus, what do you fly?
