i'm everything i am because you loved me

hey hey, does anyone know, canon (or fanon?) wise, what nathan did in the air force? or navy? i know he was a pilot, and votepetrelli.com said something about tours of duty in bosnia, something. but it's all very sketchy and such. was there an established timeline or any indication he was on the front line or he flew jet planes or. like, right now, in my head, he's totally that character of his from top gun, all surly and pretty and mostly silent. but also really really pretty. i have no clue, obviously. was he stationed in manila at some point or is that fanon as well? because it's all mixing up right now. like, was it canon as well he went to military school? because that would leave him entirely out of peter's childhood wouldn't it? or at least the first six years? gah.

IF THIS SOUNDS RIDICULOUSLY VAGUE HI WELCOME TO MY ENTIRE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE AMERICAN MILITARY.

um, hi?
