99% of the pilots I've known, and 100% of the pilots I worked with were non-military. I'm not special in that regard.
It's very difficult to be selected for military flight school, and some proportion of those selected wash out. Much respect to those who made it through.
Definitely one of the more interesting guests Jocko had on when I was still a regular listener of his. The pilot would talk about how there isn't a body type with an advantage in the cockpit. Short stocky guys and tall lanky dudes could have the same trouble handling g forces etc.
Been a hot minute since I heard him speak. It's hard to know what we know and listen to him at times, but it's so fascinating as a military outsider to hear these guys talk.

Yeah he mentions that IIRC.
