I put up with the crappy jobs that paid the bills and got me through college. I got my degree (In business, not aviation) in 2004. Six months later I enlisted in the Army. I will be getting out in July 2008 with $35K+ G.I. Bill. I'm currently working on my PPL. I have to get through a deployment to Iraq first before I can pursue further. Thats ok though. When I get back, I should have between $15-$20K saved up.

G.I. Bill + $15k to $20k Savings= Full paid training ride
