Nothing boring about it .. loved it all .... passed everything and was offered immediate enlistment ( after my Medical ) ... sign on the dotted line and your in.
These need to be taught otherwise what chance has anybody coming out of High School got for a future .... especially in Aerospace / Aviation Industries.

Yep, whole heartedly agree, Col. I remember the tests to get into the Army. Frustrates the hell out of me when people sit there a say science is boring in one breath and in the next breath say oh what is "insert whatever pseudo star's name you so choose" up to now?
After leaving the A, I went to uni and now teach HS science and love physics and chemistry. I'm actually considering going back to do a Masters in astrophysics (for the love of it).
I don't have an answer for lovers of science, but we need to make STEM fun again and get lamestream media to change its ways.
