Thank you for all your opinions. You guys are freaking awesome!
I just applied for Embry Riddle University to take the non military route. You guys are right. 10+ years is a bit too much... for me at least.
Does anyone know how much flying hours I can get going through the military and/or going through a flight school program?
Are there any airline pilots that are willing to give me their number so I can talk more personally and with more detail?
