Just for the record, some of the replies on here, especially the ones about "one step at a time", are solid info and some of the best replies I have seen on ANY pilot forum. They apply to military, civilian, pilot jobs and actually to a lot of things. I myself was in AF-ROTC and everybody and his brother was "penciled in" for an F-16 or had similar crystal ball fantasies. Very few were "lets kick butt this semester, and it will all fall into place" types.
