I also know that when someone gets too good at their job and yet want to change to another mos sometimes the paperwork gets lost... for a very long time... until you've been out of the army over 10 years, have a wife and a good job. Then they call you back up and ask if you want to consider re-enlisting to be a pilot like you wanted...

Happened to my uncle.
Those who are really serious will be in active pursuit of the goal. There is a difference between waiting for an opportunity (passive) and being active in attaining that which you desire.

"Good" is the enemy of "Excellance"

What are you willing to settle for?
