why aerial gunner?

I wanted a career where i could go to work every day and see something new.
as an aerial gunner, i figured that's exactly what i will get. I've been on an airplane about ten times in my life, and every time i have sat by the window. not once have i not had a window seat. this is because while some people have a fear of heights, i have a passion for them. i love being thousands of feet above the ground, watching it pass under me so effortlessly. every time you fly you see something new, or if you were unlucky enougt not to get a window seat you hear the captain announce that you just passed over the wolds largest spoon or something...

to become an aerial gunner isnt as hard as becomeing a pilot, but its no easy task either. from what i have leard from people who are in the Air Force, not aerial gunners themselves bare in mind is that to qualify to become an aerial gunner i would have to score an 80 on the ASVAB over all, and at least a 60 on the mechanical section of the test. to better put this into perspective for you, the highest score possible on the ASVAB is a 99 and if you get under a 50, they chose your career for you. now that would suck.
