[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 4814891, member: 77939"] Cool. There are exceptions for everything. The OP doesn't even have a degree as I understood it. I would encourage ANYONE to go and look at the statistics(actual possibilities) of success in the military system. Yes, it is possible and yes, ending up flying a King Air in the military is possible.....even that is remote for an average person. My statements stand. All of them. The OP doesn't have a clue. Comparing him to you isn't realistic. You have a plan and seem to be succeeding. Now, could he start working on a degree and flight training? You bet. But he would be very smart to consult with an AME Doctor first to see the guidelines of obtaining a First Class Medical. Could he even realistically graduate College? Who knows? I tried to get a flying crew member MOS(Rescue Swimmer) at 18 yo. Because I had a certain type of illness at 15 yo, I was disqualified from any flying job in the military. Keep in mind I was just leaving high school and could run all day, was a lifeguard and medaled(5th) in the Texas State High School Power Lifting Finals.....in other words, I was beyond healthy and fit. The military app asked "have you ever had...." I was honest and said yes. I had letters from my personal physician and the whole deal.....nope. BTW, I never pursued a flying career because of the hours at UPS wouldn't allow overnights or day flying....only weekends. Even if I could somehow find a flying gig on the weekends, I would eventually have a conflict with work somewhere. In my experience, this would lead to quitting something. I chose to stay with UPS. The OP doesn't have a clue. Can he change that? Yes. Is it ever too late? Yes, it can be. Anything possible....well maybe. You've shown it can be done....although you are a long way from being there. It sounds like you will be 30 before you fly at UPS......assuming everything works exactly like it has to. [/QUOTE]
