Problem is to get to the cockpit, the tests and studieng you have to do are very hard. Like, you need to do written tests on the ground about the plane, phisics etc. and then you must do it in the air like for example trying to pilot the aircraft without any computers/machines working, and also do a ejection test on the ground with an equipment i think. So it all hard to get into that seat, BUT you must remember that if you really wanna do THAT then you gotta do it, thats ur life for 40 years.
Thank you, sir. I have my Fighter Pilots USA aerial combat vid to load to YouTube yet and my Caribbean reef shark feeding scuba dive to load to YouTube. I have an adventure every year (I'm now 60) and recently ran the Obstacle Course at Marine Corps Officer Candidate School where I did it in 1970. Made it over every obstacle, the red wall and up the rope. Sore for 3 days afterwards but the spirit was shining! Thank you for helping to protect democracy in England.
Nice ride! I'm a pilot myself at 14 with 80 hours and am hoping to go into Air Force for tanker division. My brother is in Army Military Intelligence and really likes it so he's giving me advice. Any advice for a young a pilot?
that was amazing lol im only 13 but right now im into the whole army type things... i was at eaa this year (i livejust up the lake from where its held) and i brought a friend along instead of the f-22 raptor he chose the border patrol puppies :P but then again that looks amazing.. i had the same oppurtunity at a think for boy scouts to fly a plane but i let my dad=]
I'm now 60 years old but have been having an annual adventure since I first joined the U.S. Marine Corps as a 2nd Lieutenant in 1970. You've got your whole life ahead of you. Have a blast!
Caught your comment on the Sgt. Grit. Newsletter I agree with getting those OORah! Trips in. Do stuff like that every year. My boy just doesn't get it... But he will. Want's to be a Jar-Head like his Dad.
Thanks for the word back. Someday your boy will know that the Corps is one big family and we brothers take care of each other. In April my adventure for 2008 will be to run the "O" course at OCS in Quantico, just like I did in 1970. Will try to get that on YouTube, too; hopefully not running into the wall or falling off the rope!
