| Centurion | Post; The Cadet ImageI've been told that I'm a geek because I'm in cadets. Isn't it sad that you're now considered a geek for showing interest in the military? What have people said to you about being in cadets?

| Cadet Moderator ![]() | I've been called a loser before, but then I told them that I became a Pilot through it and they never said anything negative to me about Cadets again.

| Optio | I'm in AJROTC and have been called a "pickle" a lot by other students. But it really feels good when adults say their proud of us.

| Centurion | My friends who aren't in the cadets don't really care, they have a light hearted dig at the military once in a while, but everyone else either dosn't know, care or reckons I m crazy |

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | A few weeks ago, I had gone to Wendy's after I finished gliding for the weekend, and I was still in my flight suit. Some girl asked me if I was a real air force pilot. It was kind of funny. I said I was under military contract to fly griffin Helicopters. |

| Centurion | Along that note, I recently participated in a parade honering Audie Murphy, th most decorated soldiar of World War II. While I was marching with my unit to our assigned spot in the parade, sveral cheer leaders asked me if my rifle was real I told the m that it was not, and for a strange reasont htat brought out the "it looks so real" line. as we were marching I heard several small boys shouting at me to shoot it. I found this comical but managed to keep my Military bearing. LoL.
