You are not Chuck Yeager, you are one of thousands without finishing year 12 your application will be throwm away
Actually Chuck is a good example of someone whose career was limited by a lack of requisite training, in as much he couldn't qualify for astronaut training as he only had a high school education, and he regarded the astronauts with a degree of animosity. An outstanding and gifted pilot with the gift of being able to explain to the engineers what the aircraft was doing, but with little understanding of the science involved. Didn't much care for the new breed of test pilot with engineering degrees, and took some delight in placing them in embarrassing situations. Folk such as Armstrong and his ilk saw themselves firstly as engineers, and the flying part as the physical testing laboratory.
