I went through the Aviation Cadet program, and flew fighters. I decided to get out and go with the airlines. I needed multi time, so the Marine Corps helped me out by sending me to Viet Nam. There, I wormed myself into a position where I could fly and log multi time in an R4D-8 (Super DC 3), the Marines were also nice enough to let me live in an 8 man tent, eat C rations, crap through a hole in a board and watch the nightly fireworks display.
