Default Consider the military

I read a lot of talk about training on different websites and finally decided to chime my 2 cents in. For all of you considering spending 30K+ for training ever looked into the military as another option. I was a CFI and did my time civilian and the best thing I ever did for my career was join the AF Reserves and go to UPT. I received the best instruction money could buy, for free, and on top of it pulled around 40K my first year with per diem. After all the schools and back to the unit, it took me a year to upgrade to Aircraft Commander in the 135. Another year or two and I will have 2000+/1000 PIC all multi turbojet. And oh yeah, you make a heck of a lot more than you will even as a captain at one of those regional airlines just working a few days a week. Just wanted to present another option to those of you out there considering dropping big bucks on civilian training programs. All you got to have is a PPL and a good attitude to get a slot. GOOD LUCK
