Now I'm just a public school educated person from the south central skyover, but I usually scored in the 50+% in readin' comprehension through school and if I put the original post together with your response to that post it seems to me that you pretty well lumped the military into a type of "gun/fighter plane/bomber/WAR-TYPE PERSON."

You did a nice step backwards but at least have the moxy to own your words.

I hope that you truly have listened to some of the advice given to you on this thread. IN a couple of years - you might still be on the forum and we'll wonder if you will be posting thanks or be another disgruntled, bitter, and broke pilot. Speaking of education, except for Skyhigh (and he is a chess piece apart), can you point to a post, from the other users who have been most engaged with you during this conversation, that tries to dissuade you from flying? Most of us on here, as bcrosier has said, were just like you at one point (except I was like war-type person) and I sure do wish that I had had a resource such as APC to ask questions and get answers from knowledgable folks who have been where I want to be. I had to spend a long time in lines at the airshows to get a quick question in before being moved on along to the next line.
