How does the decision-making ability of a fighter pilot translate into everyday life? 🤔🛩️

Most Americans and people, we have a hard time with, uh, decisions on a daily basis, just like simple things like picking your dinner, and we fight about that. But you're making decisions, you know, at 1,000 miles per hour, and you're having to make them split second. I was asking how those decision-making skills translated into your, like, civilian US life. Yeah, so I think it really helps.

So one of the things I tell people, if you have any interest in aviation, just learn how to solo even a small plane like a Cessna. 152 is what I started on. It's like a lawnmower with wings. So just solo an aircraft, because as soon as you take off, you're responsible for landing. So it's an incredible feeling. And so I think flying, and especially in combat, really helps hone your decision-making because you're forced to make decisions. And a lot of times we like to push off decisions. That forcing of doing it and having thousands of each flight really to improve your ability to make good decisions. And ultimately what we're trying to do when we're making good decisions, or any decision, is finding what good is going to happen out of the potential course of action. What's the probability of that happening minus the bad times the probability of that happening? So that's the, the risk there. So you're just coming up with that risk-to-reward ratio.
