This is kinda funny, considering my earlier JOKE about the pants wearin ...
To be honest, I'm having the same problem with my girlfriend -- not so much about joining RegF, cause she is fully supportive of that, but rather she is being tough on my desired trade.
Basically, I ran into a road block when I recently told her that I would like to go RegF Pilot (Helicopter).
Her response was a straight-out "no," stating that the trade was far too dangerous. I find this odd, since I'm in the infantry (although ResF), and, among other dangers, we ride in the egg-beaters -- but, hey, she's entitled to her opinion.
So, I'm now working through a strategy to oversome this obstacle. I know the issues are not the same, but the overall concern is. I'll let you know how I make out and we can do a lessons learned or AAR.
