My FI is in the process of graduating Undergraduate Pilot Training for the AF. Assignment night was Friday and he learned he will pilot the KC 135 a refueler aricraft. His top was the C-5 and he is really bummed he didn't get it. The KC 135 was not in his top 10.
I'm having a hard time cheering him up, none of my tricks are working-- he is bummed that he will never ever get to pilot his dream aircraft now. Personally, I'm happy we know where we are headed for first 4 yrs of our marriage and the fact that he is a Pilot in the USAF is enough for me to be proud of
He is also worried because its an aircraft that has high deployment rate. (For me, the deployment doesn't worry me as much because it comes with the being a Military Spouse)
Anyone else have experience with anything similar? Or at least have advice for ways to cheer him up a bit?
TIA
