Reply To: What is the FATC Ethos?

Ethos? A great word with meanings that go as far back as ancient Greece.  As a 20 year USAF fighter pilot, I realize the importance of brotherhood for me. It’s not only being with “brothers” but being able to trust those “brothers” with your life.  For me, whether it be during combat or practicing for combat, I had to trust in my brothers to have my back when racing around at 500mph at 100 feet off the ground or 20,000 feet in the air. That “trust” – that “brotherhood” is so important to get the mission done.

But it is also important for the heart of a man to know he belongs to a “brotherhood” of men that will be there for him – anytime, anywhere. That’s what I see in this fellowship – brotherhood ethos! Remember “It isn’t just about the fly fishing”

Thanks for the great question.
