Hey Raptor,
Right now I am flying by myself but spidrwmn said she wouldl ove to try it sometime so I can set her up around her schedule. As for ground school, it is nothing more than spending an hour tomorrow learning how the planes works, flies and so on at a local airport here in Phoenix. As for flying for the navy that will be done after OCS. Right now I am just getting a feel for flying without sinking thousands of bucks ona private pilots license. No point since the navy is basically having you get close to one before API. As for OCS it is Jan 12, but have not taken the oath or paper work yet. I have some other obligations to work on first.
