I'd love for you to finish it and give your take on it. I thought he came across as an incredibly whiny and confused person, at least for a Marine.
I'll probably pick it back up after I watch the movie.

The Navy and Marines have plenty of their own Airpower as well, so don't get too cocky simply because your military specialization is in the air! You chair force guys are all the same!

Fixed for accuracy.
And there can't be any air force movies because no one wants to watch a bunch of guys go through flight procedures all day long
(BTW, I'm going into Marine Aviation as a Naval Flight Officer.)

Even as a Candidate you've already got it. That irritates the ish out of me when they don't capitalize Marine!

Marine Corps pilots have a mission that AF pilots can't do for [censored] and can't drop bombs fer chit without their 'smart bombs.' A-6s have been out of service for years. And IMO, the only 'well rounded' aircraft the AF has is the F-15E. Otherwise, the F/A-18 (be it Super Hornet or not) is the most well rounded plane in our inventory currently.
F/A-18, EA-6B (where's the AF EA planes? Or right, they retired them after the Gulf War), and the AV-8 (ok, laugh at that one, I will too, its grounded more than it flies).
For your sim hours...
so what? I have 500+ or so in a sim too.....and?
Now, when an AF pilot and effectively (keyword) do ground support, FACA, and air combat, then I'll be impressed. Otherwise, the majority of AF pilots are [censored] compared to Navy/Marine Corps pilots. End of story.
On another note, if you notice, from my experience with AF pilots their call signs are the 'tough guy' type (i.e. 'Thor,' Killer, etc) Navy/Marine Corps, its the polar opposite.....

Oh ha! The F/A-18 is arguably THE most versatile aircraft in the armed forces right now. Just wait till we get our Osprey's in '07! And let's not forget about the AH-Cobra 
And no worries about your qualifications, I'm by no means disrespecting you there, just having some fun with you in the eternal forces rivalry!
And that's fine if you want to consider us the "Bullet Catchers" I'm assuming most Marines out there would be honored to be considered that title, given it's assumption of courage.

Heh, I'm already hearing horror stories about what's to come for me. Met one NA with the name of Sifob. This was when I thought Navial Aviation got "cool" call signs. I soon found out it was the opposite. Their call sign is dependent on when/how they f*** up the most. Sifob= sh$# for brains

The AF doesn't need EF planes, Im a EW guy trust me i know EW [censored] that would blow your mind.. The B-1 can do everything the EA-6 can do and Drop bombs and go SS. As for the F-18 I know just givin ya [censored]. For the longest time my Fav Aircraft was the F-14. Now that honor is held by the B-2 (the technology in the aircraft is mindblowing) and the yF-23  The F-22 is a close third just wish some of the Flight controls/Trust vectoring could be worked out alot sooner before more planes crash
