Hello all. I've been a loooooong time lurker and I'm looking for a bit of advice. Since I could breath I wanted to fly jets, they are just the neatest machine made by man, as I'm sure you know, but really anything military will do. I'm 29 now, former Marine enlisted. Had planned on doing PLC air, then during my enlistment a number of years ago, I screwed up my back pretty good snowboarding. I could hardly do shit and the thought of OCS and TBS was just ridiculous. It took me years to figure out how to deal with it and as of the last 12 months I finally feel back at full strength. The problem is, yeah, I'm 29 now with an AA degree and I can not think of any career other then mil flying that will make me happy. I'm about to take my check ride on the 14th to get my ppl. I'm flying a Citabria. =) Which is about the only thing that makes me happy these days.
Since I'm a tad old for OCS now, what do you guys think of going through Army WOFT and then if possible changing service later on? It seems to be my only option now, I'm just uncertain about the Army life.
P.S. A few years ago I was talking with a couple of F-18 pilots while watching the F-18 demo at the Miramar Airshow. "Duck" and "Corky", thanks for taking the time chatting with me and signing the poster for my uhh ... lil bro. I still have it.
