8. My uncle's (infantry, WWII) advice on my entering the military:

"Never walk when you can ride.
Never stand when you can sit.
And never...EVER...volunteer."

[sarge43]

17. "Never sit when you can lie down.

Always use the latrine/head any chance you get.

You can't get through the day without screwing up, so pick the regs nobody gives a rat's ass about.

If you need two of anything, order eight. You'll get six. Use two for trade deals and hide the other two.

Opinions are like assholes and we have many of those. So shut up; you can't nailed for what you're thinking."

12. No smoking 8 hours prior to flight and no drinking within 50' of the aircraft

[Locut0s]

13. I wonder is "drinking and flying" a problem in the air force?...

Can't imagine anything more dangerous but then knowing "some" of the types of people who like to sign up I can imagine it happening.

[Major Nikon]

14. Not really

At least not more than once. Even problems with drinking while not flying can and often does affect one's flying status. To a lesser extent this is also true with civilian pilots.

[Wounded Bear]

15. But I heard...

that oxygen is a great hangover remedy.

[Major Nikon]

16. Oxygen is great for a lot of things

When you are at altitude in either an unpressurized aircraft or one that is pressurized to a high altitude pressure level, your oxygen saturation level declines which causes a number of detrimental effects not unlike a hangover. When on a long flight I will often use my oxygen bottle for a few minutes to clear my head before I start my descent.

18. Most of the aircrew field is smart enough to be careful with alcohol.

Being on a flightline where Bones are going full afterburner on takeoff or sitting in a condensed space while electrical and aviation equipment is roaring are nightmares for hungover aircrew.

That said, my old RJ crew always liked going to the bar after a flight for our three allotted drinks. Dehydration mixed in with depressurization makes three drinks last a lot longer.

20. Knew about half of those from both my time in and Call of Duty.
