    I happened to be watching the 1958, No Time for Sergeants. It struck me that a lot of younger military people may never have seen it.

    I recommend finding a copy and watching that movie, particularly for the Air Force types.

    Will Stockdale: Hey, Ben. Maybe you'll get to like the Air Force. Zoomin' all over the sky - and shouting, "Roger" and "Wilco" and everything. Maybe it won't be so bad.
    Benjamin B. Whitledge: Bad? You know what they call men in the Air Force?
    [Will shakes his head "no"]
    Benjamin B. Whitledge: Air man! Like somethin' out of a dang funny book! Air man! How you gonna like it when somebody calls you "Air man"?
    Will Stockdale: By dog, I just don't think I'll stand for it.

    I love this movie. My favorite scene is from the beginning with the draft official, and getting handcuffed to the gas pump :p
