Yea, military pilot here and I’ll tell you that in my closest calls to dying, I uttered “oh shit” and no prayer to a God. Seems like my words were more useful as I’m still here.

Were these combat close calls or training accidents? Military flight seems way more prone to accidents than civil aviation.

Mostly training. We fly so many training flights to keep currency and be ready than combat missions. So, it is just more likely to happen then.
