Burnseyy

*nods* It has it's downsides...namely Korea and of course the desert, for obvious reasons.

But, you know what, I enjoy my work, I love the job security, and while the pay isn't that great, the benefits more than make up for it. Total health care, with no co-pay(so long as it's through the approved network). In a couple years, I'm going to look into PRK or Lasik for my eyes, and it'll be covered.

Of course...I WILL eventually lose my hearing. The flightline is so loud, if you tried to drown out the noise with your iPod, the thing itself would probally fry. And I wear two sets of hearing protection when I'm out there, and I'm still going to lose some of my hearing.
