Yes - in most instances you would need a degree to fly in the military but the Army has the WO program. There are some on here that know quite a bit about it - you can also do a search and learn more. They never called me back so I didn't get much info about it. about the eye surgery - I don't know the current rules and regs but they are easy to figure out on-line or through an officer recruiter.
USMCFLYR How much did you end up paying all together for your certificates and how long exactly did it take you? Sorry i know i ask alot but i just really want to know whats gonna be best for me. I appreciate your help!! |
Sorry SK - but that was over 20 years ago. One - I don't remember, Two - I paid $35/hr for a C-152. Those prices don't exist anymore so any comparison is meaningless.

I did Spartan back in '87. I just went a short time for the Comm/instr/multi. They had no college degree offer back then. I did that at a non-aviation school before and after Spartan. While I have no major complaints about the flight training, I have no idea what it is like there now. I wanted loans and fast training. The FBO style flight training I had been doing before was slow because it was pay as you fly and I had NO money.
Tulsa sucks. It was a very boring town. I worked at Tulsa airport nights to help pay for flight training. I got out as soon as possible. I got all my CFI ratings at my "home" airport's FBO later. |

You and I were sharing OK airspace togehter back in the day! I started flying around that time out of Riverside and Tulsa Int'l in '86. I can't say that I have quite as severe opinion of Tulsa actually. Maybe I viewed it differently since I grew up in small town Oklahoma :) I didn't even know that Spartan did flight training back in that timeframe. I thought they were strictly a maintenance school back then. USMCFLYR |
