I personally went through ROTC and got a flight slot (I had zero flight time and had ridden on a plane only one time) while in school. The government paid for 13 hrs in a C-150 at a local FBO. That was the first time I was ever in a cockpit of an airplane. Walked through Reese AFB, Tx gates with a whopping 13 hrs total flight time, and 51 weeks later, had my wings. Total cost to me.....Nuthin, but I did 12 years of flying heavy muti-engines jets and seeing the world!
