I hesitate to respond to an individual via the thread instead of PM, but I feel it important to point out that there is no offense taken. I'm proud to be a Squid, and you a Devil Dog right? I didn't know that a graduate of DCA only logs 250hrs. I figured it was maybe twice as many. I guess other than what other facility/school similar to DCA that excepts MGI, my only other question at this point would be how much does an instructor make? I've done a lot of reading on this forum but have never seen an expected earning statement for CFI's. I have a huge leg up on most in that not only will I be collecting retirement pay from the Navy but my wife will be as well. From here on out I intend on PMing so not to bore others. Thanks.
