There is an awful lot of buzz in the news lately about Russia’s development of their S-300 and S-400 defense systems, which they brag should completely neutralize the stealthy advantages of the F-22 and F-35. Add to that, Russia is also working on an S-500 air defense system that they say will be able to destroy stealth targets in the air from as far away as 125 miles!
Well, we can react to this news in one of two ways: we can either cry, “Oh no, what are we going to do now?” and think about all the awful things that could happen until we eventually decide that it’s just not worth it, or…we can DO something about it!
The United States military has always liked the second one!
And it likes its personnel to think that way too. They want self-starters who hate to lose and like to blow away the obstacles in front of them.
In your visions of becoming a fighter pilot, you no doubt see things in front of you that look like they could be insurmountable obstacles in your way, be they less than straight-A grades, a physical or vision problem, or even some trouble with the law in your past.
But these are NOT insurmountable problems! You’d be shocked to hear just how many fighter pilots have had to be waivered for some medical issue, or needed some academic prep or even had been in trouble with police in the past.
They had a MISSION in their life; a calling to serve their country in the air and they didn’t let anything stop them! And neither should you.
All they needed was the right information, someone to show them how to zig zag their way into the cockpit of their dream jet. And I am proud to say that a good many of the ones I know who did it and achieved the dream did it RIGHT HERE, on the Afterburner Club!
The Afterburner Club has been helping young people JUST LIKE YOU reach and attain their dreams of flying jets for almost ten years, and the need for such driven people in the cockpits of our future fighters is only increasing!
Don’t be intimidated by the obstacles in your way! Do what the military itself does when it sees a possible threat in its way, develop a strategy that will insure victory!
Join the Afterburner Club and you will see many stories of past members who beat their obstacles to fly jets today, and you will see how you can do it too.
