    How y'all keeping in shape?

    I'll do weight training as I have some free weights at home, and I'll split it up between upper body and lower body. Basically all upper body and then leg day. I used to do sections, but eh, I like to do near full body every other day. Cardio has been fun at this point. I've been doing quite a...

    Yes. That's the best answer I can give without going political.

    Considering Joining the Military

    Either way, you go to basic, then go train for your career and then work your career in the military is serving. That's almost like saying that people in the national guard aren't really serving their country when they are. Everyone who enlists provide some sort of service to their country and I...

    Considering Joining the Military

    Yes, I do have a desire to serve. It's in my blood. Things got in the way of me going sooner and I regret that. But the itch is getting stronger. Also, yes, I have a degree in IT Networking and Security and would enlist under cyber security which translates to a nice career if becoming a pilot...

    Thanks, I'll check it out. Not sure I'll be spending 20 years in there even if I do go guard or reserve afterwards. Still trying to get my ducks in a row.

    I understand that. I'm not referring to the protected status, I'm referring to having that one extra qualification to get my foot in the door. If it helps, great, if not, no worries. Just trying to think of the possible positives.

    Restaurant Steak?

    I've had a pretty good steak at legends, but with anywhere, and depending on the cook manning the grill, it's going to be a hit or miss.

    Considering Joining the Military

    Read through the thread, I already said that isn't the only reason I'm considering joining. It would be irresponsible to not have a plan and a goal for after the fact. Besides, a lot of people enlist for all sorts of reasons. Financial and experience being the main ones. There are some that...

    Considering Joining the Military

    Honestly, I never wanted to go the cfi route. While I have a tendency to over explain things, not sure if that's for me. I understand that is the best way to build hours, and I may have to end up doing it in the end, I just can't help but to think of being that guy who is using someone for...

    Considering Joining the Military

    @Velocity173 What would you recommend in this scenario: Say I enlist, would it still be a good idea to get my private and instrument, and then attempt to keep them current while serving? More than likely if I enlist, I'll be going the cyber security route as I'm already qualified for it (and...

    That figure didn't come into mind when I was referring to decent pay. I was thinking much lower than that, by like 200k lower than that. Don't get me wrong, I'd love that pay. In regards to steady, I'm referring to something that isn't going to terminate me every 18 months like doc up above...

    Considering Joining the Military

    A lot of great recommendations and information being given here. Thanks to you all. Would I be correct by stating that if I wanted a decent paying steady career as a pilot, the best route would be to go to the airlines? I have a Cirrus corporate location here in TN. Anyone have experience...

    Thanks, I'll check into it. I considered the border patrol, but, age and total flight hours is an issue.

    Wow, thanks for that info. Didn't realize that was how that worked. You sure gave me something to think about.

    Thanks. I'm not too big on flying for the airline myself. I would like to probably stick to the corporate cargo area myself.

    Considering Joining the Military

    Funny you mention that. I was looking at the jobs in the Navy and I came across Navy diver and was like, that would be pretty awesome, checked the requirements and I'm too old. From the research I've done, going into the Air force as enlisted as a higher rank, say and e3 is almost pointless as...

    Considering Joining the Military

    That's not the only reason. I'm just speaking on the added benefits. I want to serve my country, but I'm thinking of the future as well. Is it enticing to reach my final goal? Yes, but it's not the only reason. If it were you, and you had the funds to get up to your commercial rating without...

    Considering Joining the Military

    Thanks. I don't like trying to game the system, but they've made it so difficult to get into this profession that it leaves some with no other choice. I took out the equity on my home to be able to fund this crazy dream of mine, but I fear I'll fall into that category of people not being able...
