I could just as equally say someone who didnt put in any effort, didn't make it into the cadetship and is now having to go down the GA path is lazy, but I won't. Everyone is different, and it's ignorant to make these types of sweeping statements
Academic success is no measure of whether someone is lazy or not. Believe me, I didn't do very well in high school, yet I was more than willing to put in the hard yards to earn my career. Not just do a 12 month course and get straight into a jet that others have to work many years to even have a chance to try.
