Time flies when your havin' fun. I grinned about the "honesty" part in the military. I learned early in my military career that you NEVER volunteer (information, time, labor). Never. You always end up rueing the day. I'll reply to your question about NM in the comments shortly as I have not other way to reply. <strong>Yeah I found out the hard way you don't volunteer information. But why is volunteering discouraged in military vs. the private sector, where those who volunteer for stuff get promoted? BTW I saw your photo album, very nice.Look forward to reading your answer on NM. Thanks.</strong> Congratulation on the anniversary. Time flies when your havin’ fun.

I am always impressed at how people knew what they wanted to be and went after it… your enthusiasm and passion about piloting is wow… a friend I graduated undergrad with, knew when she first flew to the US at the age of 10 she wanted to fly, we both graduated with BA (Law) and I pursued postgraduate when she spent 2 years in training to be pilot, we both turned 29 and she has been flying for 6 years. While I on the other hand, just landed here… I wanted to be a nurse and a social worker, but realised a medical doctor is better than nursing… my matric grades weren’t good to get into medical school… now I am here… thank god, I can’t stand needle and the side of blood. While u knew before the air force bug u wanted to be a journalist, wow… I wish I knew what I wanted and followed it. Well, I have only been a reader of your blog recently…and have enjoyed it, happy 1 yr anniversary <strong>Thanks, Shazza, for reading. the journalism thing was due to seeing this brother on the air in Philadelphia doing local news in the early 1970s and I subconsciously wanted to be like him. Later, though, newspaper journalism became something of an ego boost for me, seeing as I viewed as something of a nerd growing up. But I also talked about being an author when I was a kid. But in between, the piloting thing looked like it would be plain fun. That I'm not a pilot today is probably a good thing given the sad shape of the US airline industry.</strong> Wow..
