Hey, I'll be the first to bite. I saw your post in the Mother Rucker thread about flight school. I went through in 2001 and chose the 60 Blackhawk You are correct, it does take up alot of your time but you'll be able to sneak out a couple weekends to enjoy UCLA, or Ugly Corner of Lower Alabama! We mean that in the most sincerest of terms. I take it your going warrant, either way, great career move if you ask me. I really wasn't into racing back then so I don't know of any tracks in the area. One good thing, the Florida beaches are just down the road!! Take care and if you have any questions concerning flight school I'll do my best to answer them, me or someone else I'm sure.

I'm a 2nd LT in the Marines. I'm going to Pensacola FL in june to start Naval flight school. I'm hoping to fly FA-18's, but since thier useless in the current war, I'm counting on not ever seeing them.
I think it would be cool to fly the new V22 osprey if I can't get the mighty hornet.

Hawks is a great choice if you ask me, maybe I'm a little biased but here is a little food for thought. With Hawks you can get stationed anywhere, and when I say anywhere I mean anywhere. For instance, where I'm at now you won't see any other military aircraft flying 100ft. above the Potomac River downtown D.C. with a birds eye view of all the monuments as well as all the museums along the Mall!

I've flown military for a while.
Started as UH-1 crewchief in highschool with IA Army Guard
Went to Army Pilot training in '87 (damn I'm old)
Flew UH-1's in IA Army Guard while going to college and got degree
Put in app to OTS with Air Force (I was a WO while in Army)
Went to AF pilot training '92-'93 at Sheppard AFB, TX
Since then flown:
C-21's (military version of Lear 35)
C-141's
C-17's
Now off of active duty but still flying C-17's with AF Reserve
It's been a fun and rewarding career. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Like JJKJ I'm also a C-17 Pilot at McChord AFB. Love the plane and recommend it to anyone. Flown it now for 6 years and still happy. Hoping to teach basic pilot training next assignment so I can actually be home a little more.
