So just to make sure I got this whole thing straight...
Flight School to Atlantic Coast Airlines to ANG F-16 add Eagle add FDNY Ladder 2 add Colgan Investigation add Soup Kitchen add Habitat for Humanity.
So where does he find the time to use his imagination if he's doing all that?
I bet a guy as motivated as that will be able to skip over everyone ahead of him in seniority and start logging Space Shuttle PIC before we know what happened.
