Shared on Mon, 10/02/2006 - 16:25I was trolling EHOWA.com and came across a link to a female fighter pilot association. As tradition dictates, most pilots are super cool, and I have never had any occasion to think otherwise. My ex-wife was a flight photographer at Edwards AFB and was scared to fly. She never got a single second of flight time, but I got to see and do all sorts of neat-o crap that most Jarheads didn't have a chance to. The chain of command for her unit went Staff Sergeant to LtColonel, nothing in the middle. Her CO thought it was cool that our last names were very similar but asked me to call him Dan. Are you effing kidding me? A USMC Lance Corporal fresh out of school addressing a staff-grade officer by his first name! Not a snowball's chance in hell! After about six months I still couldn't do it. Back to the point at hand, fighter jocks are always cool. So when I saw this little list on www.fighterchicks.com, I had to share it.
9. Arguments are a lot shorter because you both use acronyms to insult each other.
8. She insists on buying a stroller with a gold plated canopy and the baby's name and callsign stenciled on the side.
7. A conversation about boom vs probe-n-drogue refueling turns into a night of dirty talking.
6. Her occupation takes her from 0-600mph in 18 seconds.
5. She brings you souviners from deployments in the travel pod. Everything was frozen but its the thought that counts.
4. She looks gorgeous in an evening gown or in a flightsuit.
3. You would never be tempted to cheat because you know she can put a GBU-10 through the bedroom window.
2. If she ever shoots down an enemy jet, you can spend the next 10 years telling everyone you meet "That was my wife!"
And the number one reason to marry a female fighter pilot:
1. She followed you into the men's room at the bar
