Filing Flight Plan
I thought I'd start by by introducing myself quick. I am a 31yo, former Marine, volunteer fireman, Network Engineer. I had the chance to take lessons when I was stationed at Quantico and didn't take the offer and I've regretted it since.
After that I got married and had 4 kids. My career has been going good and I'm finally at a point I have this uncontrollable drive to fulfill my dream to fly.
While there are a few airports local (KMRJ, KPVB ) I'm going to probably be based out of KMSN or KC29.
Since I don't have much money saved up yet, I'm starting by trying to learn as much as I can for free online. I figure if I can exhaust all of the free sources of information before I pay for training, I'll be in better shape. So far I've noticed it's a lot of understanding terms ad acronyms like it was in MOS school when I was in the military so I know that will just come with time.
My nest step is to get a medical done. If my medical doesn't come back good, then there is no point in paying any money for ground school, online training, or even a check ride. Physically I'm in great shape, my problem are my eyes. I'm not so sure I'll pass the vision test.
