Thinking of joining the Air Force...

No, it turned out he'd been in the Air Force and had slept in a leaky tent one rainy night.

Did he call BS on him? Like an AF member would of been sleeping in a tent....

I thought to join the Air Force in 1980. Jobless from the big crunch, I talked to a recruiter about my options, and when asked what field I was interested in, I replied, "Jet engine mechanics." He thought that quite good but told me they needed fighter pilots, and would I be interested in that? "Sure, isn't everybody?" was something along the line I said to him. "Well, first of all, how old are you?" was his next question. I was 24. It was the first time I was ever too old for anything in my life. I've since learned to get used to it.

Wifey talked me out of it and it wasn't long before I found a decent job, but I always felt like I missed out on something.

Sounds like you're about 22 now. If you want to be a fighter pilot, you'd better move fast.
