BoilerUp...It really wasn't that he told her to major in something else, just rather asked if she had considered it. We all talked about what she wanted to do and had kind of an "AaaHaa" moment. Her scholarship was for any school, any major...no restrictions. She really wanted to double major with the addition of Management. We all sort of decided it made sense at the time to go with the Management side of things and go for a pilot slot as the time presented itself. She already had her PPL with around 85 hours and the Col. told her with good grades she stood a pretty good chance of a slot. We are all thankful it workrd out for the best and by no means did I mean to imply that the AvTech program was anything short of World Class...That was the whole reason for choosing Purdue in the first place and believe me we looked far and wide (remember she had an "any school, any major" scholarship) and Purdue was head and shoulders above all in our minds...it also meant going away to school almost clear across the country. Did you get commisioned and go on to UPT? I see that you mention CJ2 in your avatar...very nice!
