Well here is something that is un friggin believable! It all started with me getting an age waiver to the age waiver for pilot training as I'll be 31 when I get commisioned. To top that, I decided that I wanted to get a little bit ahead with flight school. So... I went to a little local flight school about two miles from my house to take some lessons. Today was my first and I met my instructor. He asked me why I wanted to learn to fly etc etc. I said I wanted a head start for Navy SNA training. Then he SMILED. Turns out that this guy just got out of the Navy. His last tour of duty? Instructor pilot at NAS Meridian. I thought to myself no "F"ing way. I just fell into my own private naval aviator instructor. Turns out that this guy is the bomb. He's giving me some insight on the program and what to expect. He's also teaching me how to fly Navy style. Different aproaches and stuff compared to regular civilian style flying. I'll try to keep everyone up to date on his gouge. Talk about luck!
