Iguana Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 i am shipping out for Army basic for the National Guard next week and will be at Ft. Sill, OK. till mid October. hopefully by then, they sox will be in the playoffs. lol. When i get back, I am going to try to get in to flight school and fly helicopters for the Guard. That would kick butt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Thats awesome Iggy. I wish you the best of luck. Using the military to get into flight school is about the best way I know, especially if eventually you want to become an airline pilot. Its about the only way to log the necessary hours and the government pays you to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what i was thinking. it is expensive as hell to pay for helicopter lessons...somewhere in the 200+ range an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would kick butt! Alright..that's cool dude..and when you get back you can take all of us on a helicopter ride That would be cool to tell a chick on a first date or something..."So,what would you like to do today??? bowling and a couple hotdogs, or would you like to fly over the Chicago skyline on my chopper???"

Chisoxfn Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Its always best to have your degree and then go in or at least thats what I've been told. It means you enter as an officer or I think thats how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
