Did you happen to ever serve with the Garudas?
I spent some time with them when they were deployed UDP in the mid-90s.

Don't worry guys, if the fighter pilot package doesn't work, there is still a chance to become an Army pilot!

I have actually met this guy. He was a MAWTS IP and came around to the fleet Hornet squadrons performing Air Combat Tactics Instructor certifications, though he didn't do mine. He had a reputation as a one of the better IP draws for the cert, and as a good guy all around. I had heard that he had gotten out and become a motivational speaker, but when a buddy sent me a link to his website as a job prospect, I about fell over. He doesn't come on nearly so strong in person, and is actually pretty personable. Can't vouch for his program, however.

Kind of dorky. Whatever, the guy has a job and is using what the military gave him to make a living. I agree, he's giving out info you and I would give out for free. But if somebodies willing to pay, then let him charge. Still a little to Top Gunnish, Tom Cruise for my taste. At least he's speaking as an expert though.
