You know...... coming from a background in the AF where i actually had to work for a living, and spent time away from the comfy airbases, i struggled with this constantly. The looks were more priceless when you showed up wearing BDU's with AF insignia on it, in places nobody EVER expected to see the air force.
Regardless how much dirt you share with the Army and Navy (Seabee's in specific), you are rarely given due respect. After awhile, i figured out i didn't need to prove anything to anyone not in "The Horse." because they weren't schitt to me. That said, most "complaints" about the AF have some validity. I can't count the number of times i came back to home station and thought, "these people have it made and they don't even know it.". But hey, this is just smoke being blown from an Ex AF puke, so what would i know...........
