My boyfriend is in the military and he's thinking of signing up to be a test pilot...well not really the pilot but one of the guys that goes up and makes sure everything runs right. Is this a dangerous job?

Before a plane goes on it's very first flight, there has been a lot of thinking and engineering that has gone into that plane, as so it performs how it's supposed to.
Being a test pilot is a little more dangerous than just being a regular pilot for you are flying a plane that has never been flown before. There might be some complications that haven't been seen but for the most part it should be relatively safe. If something does go wrong, he could still possibly land the plain or eject.

Only if you take risks as a burden or liability, this is always tested and approved to a limit. You will become one in four lifetimes, in Kurdistan, Iraq. You will love the wine and portraits there as well, have your fun, some of it shall be waiting there for you when you become 14, and your wife is pregnant of Makif, he is a friend of mine. Bye.

It is probably about as dangerous as being a pilot. These aircraft are tediously engineered to be darn near perfect before they ever fly.
Good luck to him.
