are you a pilot?
Okay, I give up.
In all fairness, I don't talk much about my background anymore.
But to answer your question, I have been both a military and commercial pilot. Most FReepers are well aware of my background, and I guess my original comments were not fair to those of you who don't know me.
Yes, he’s a pilot. VF-143, USN.
No, he was a member of the American Board of Veterinary Gastroenterologists otherwise known as the "Pukin Dogs". ;-)
He works in a coal mine; only rides the city transit bus or his highly customized VW van.
