I would appreciate if somebody that went through either flight schools could give me some information! Thank you so much!
Longbow, I'm making an asumption that your flying the 64D now. Are you planning on using the MGIB when you leave the Army? If so look at what is inclusive to each and will be covered by the 60% from the MGIB. Their not all the same, there should be someone at each academy that is a counselor for students using the MGIB that can give you the facts. Things like housing, extra fees, ect..can really drive up the cost.
On the flip side, if your still on AD and can find a Guard or Reserve FW unit that needs you, you may be able to get a FW slot. When they send you to the FWMEQC you can get your Commercial FW multi-engine done on the Army's dime. All of the ME time will be turbine and may give you an opportunity to work a job that will get you where you want to be sooner. The down side, you may have to do a deployment at some time. Just my 2 cents. Best of luck!
