you have to ask?? I'd join in a heartbeat and resign my commission in order to try out for the fabled space shuttle door gunner position. Badge not necessary.

I worked on the Space Shuttle program for 33 years. If I had a shot of being in space, absolutely.

Probably not. Former astronauts have made a lot of public admissions about how weightlessness has a profound effect on people with easily disturbed stomachs. Well, my stomach is the king of all stomachs when it comes to puking. I think I’ll pass on this space job. I’m sure to be the one with his head buried in his helmet.

As I do not live in space the answer is no. Militia is made up of civilians who occasionally drill. They are local institutions for local defense. If i lived in space I would consider it.
