Thanks. He sometimes reminds me that he is an O-1, and I was an E-7. 😁😀 Another year, and he will make 1st Lieutenant. Since I was an air traffic controller, I pretty much understand everything he tells me, about his flying. At first, he wanted to be a USAF lawyer, but being as the Air Force is so short of pilots, they told him, its pilot training, or its nothing. He accepted pilot training. Once he started flying, there was no more desire to be a lawyer. He has a new love ❤️ in his life. FLYING. All he wants to do now, is fly fly fly.
They use their instructor pilots call sign in the aircraft, but they all have their own made up humorous call signs, not official. For instance, if a guys name is Kringle, his unofficial, funny call sign, would be Kris. They never lose their sense of humor. 👍

I was a Tech Controller. In Sacramento we had a direct line to the ATC and Tower.

Thats hilarious, all I wanted to be growing up was an Air Force fighter pilot and all they would take me as was a lawyer! (One bad eye, no waivers)
