The Navy gives its pilots call signs, essentially chosen by that pilot's peers in flight school.

Having already been a SEAL and a doctor, and only being sent to Navy flight school as part of his astronaut training, his peers gave him the call sign "Sidequest."

Get that doctor shit in place, and the other two are going to fall into place more easily.

... betting it costs some money to become a doctor!

Just check out the resumes of pretty much any astronaut. They're all incredibly accomplished people, the selection process is so competitive

I wonder if his dad is still disappointed

I know you're making a joke, but it's not funny specifically because of what a piece of shit his dad actually was.

In Jonny Kim's senior year in high school, his dad died in a shootout with the police after the pistol whipping his mom and repeatedly threatening to kill her (in front of their high school age son). This dude joined the Navy a few months later, in large part to get away from an traumatic home life.

Looks like he's been a doctor, so he should be OK.

Only doctor? The neighbour's son is archdoctor! The family is dishonoured.

I thought about becoming a navy seal as a springboard to Harvard Medical where I'd meet a NASA physician who'd convince me to become an astronaut. But then I thought I'd just go bowling instead.

That's the difference between being born in the 70's instead of the 80's like Johnny Kim, I guess.

I heard when he got married, his new mother-in-law required six surgeons to remove the shit-eating grin she had after her next Sunday mah jong game.
