It looks like the future's really bright.

Science was something that really caught my attention. It was something I really could sink my teeth into.

When you launch in a rocket, you're not really flying that rocket. You're just sort of hanging on.

If you want something that's going to provide you with a lot of challenges and a variety of different things to do, then you really can't beat a place like the Air Force. I don't mean this to sound like a recruiting pitch. But it's been a lot of fun.

I went to the University of Washington as a physics and astronomy major. My other interest, of course, was aviation. I always wanted to be a pilot. And if you're going to fly airplanes, the best place to be is the Air Force.
