Thanks for the reply. i completely agree with the direction you suggest. as far as my military career goes i don't really enjoy my job. I went to college to fly and after 4 years of flying 3-5 days a week i graduate and sit at a desk (ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY!) i'll give active duty 2 or 3 more trys to get into pilot training then maybe try the guard or reserve to get a slot. by that time i'll have my masters and my CFI. Where do you work at? Later. Oh in case you wonder what job could be so bad, i'm in acquisitions. Cheers.
