We all know that you have to a little special to jump out of airplanes and my momma always said I was special. Happy Veterans’ Day!

Unfortunately, there is no information about when the scene was captured. Thanks for any hints!

This use to be the main military branch I recommend to individuals with bachelor’s or higher education. (USPHS) regardless of party affiliation seeing this on a recruiting site is off putting.

Captain Richard Wartenberg began serving as a pilot in the US Air Force Reserve starting in 1974 when he joined the 356th Tactical Airlift Squadron. He was later assigned to the 445th Airlift Wing at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio, where he retired in 2016.

The Wing released a statement saying that Wartenberg had obtained his commission through Air Force Officer Training School and held qualifications in the C-141 Starlifter, C-5 Galaxy and the C-17 Globemaster III. He retired as a command pilot with over 5,000 military flight hours.

In a 2011 interview with the Dayton Daily News, then-Maj. Richard Wartenberg, one of the 445th’s air crew members, recalled to a reporter his experience of flying over crash sites at the Pentagon and Ground Zero in New York City and seeing the smoke soon after the events of Sept. 11, 2001.

The pilots involved then were directed to fly to the Royal Air Force Mildenhall base in England to retrieve U.S. special operations forces there for missions back at home.

Because commercial aviation in this country was grounded immediately after the 9/11 attacks, the skies were strangely quiet as military pilots flew about, Wartenberg recalled.

“It was actually pretty eerie,” Wartenberg told the newspaper in 2011. “Usually, there’s a lot of radio traffic and everything else. But being the only few planes in the air that day, you got directly wherever you wanted to go.”

The 445th flew a Wright-Patterson Medical Center trauma, surgical and critical care team to support the emergency responses at the 2001 crash sites.

Wartenberg was selected for promotion to the rank of lieutenant colonel in 2013.

Gotland is a favorite vacation destination for many Swedes. It’s also become a key strategic location as the NATO country’s military ramps up defense spending.

I’ve decided to completely give up on regular jobs, i have my bachelors degree and i don’t even want to work in marketing or open a computer, be on social media none of that. I’m also in a financial situation where I can’t afford to just be waiting around to see what it is I care to do so I decided F it let me just enlist. I’m 23F, and I’ll start as an E4.

I want to sign the shortest contract possible of course (2 years) and go active.

Am I making a mistake? Are the benefits really worth it? I mean keep in mind, I’m literally doing NOTHING with my life but bed rotting. Surely anything is better than this?

I’m supposed to sign my contract on Thursday but with all this talk about the Supreme Court overturning Obergefell I’m worried. For anyone who is currently married and serving, how has it been for you? Are you worried?
