Always remember at my Officer InterView Board in the 80"s when asked "as a junior pilot in the squadron what will you be doing when you're not flying."
Totally stumped for an answer all I said was "anything the senior pilots don't want to do." Quickly followed by a roar of laughter.
Didn't really understand until I was a pilot officer in my first squadron where every SLJ came my way - then all became clear.
Good luck to all trying out - it can be frustating but ultimately it's a ball of fun.
