>That quote can be applied to so many areas in life.

Couldn't agree more.

>Also, a Tomcat “driver?” Is that a thing?

To qualify, my usage of the term was intended with nothing but respect.

> Also, a Tomcat “driver?” Is that a thing?

Air Force nerd slang.

> Also, a Tomcat “driver?” Is that a thing?

There is no military position immune to dragging.
