Thanks ya'll. It's a long story, but you basically have to give up any sort of real life for yourself and live, eat, breathe, and sleep old airplanes..... as well as stay extremely poor. It was worth it though! I wouldn't hesitate to do it over again. And as ehaeckercfi mentioned, there's no living in it, at least the the living I want. I guess it's all a manner of schmoozing the recruiters with war stories and promises to to let them fly a little!

I only have an SIC type in the 17' as of right now, but that should change by the weekend I hope... knock on wood.
