Nice video, charming and an excellent tribute from a loving son to a Father. However I watched it only up to the point where he got into the Air Force. Whoa, where's the struggle, where's the years of scraping the money together for flying lessons? Where's the disappointments, setbacks?

From what I see he had a seamless enough career and probably never had to pay for any of his training. Not only that, he was only three millimeters away from flying F16s.

Never give up? I don't get that. It just proves that some people are lucky in the career choices. I wish I had it so easy. That man had my ideal career progression. Good for him and I don't mean that in any way sarcastically. If only it was as easy for the rest of us.
