There is a good string in this category offering help for military aviators either transitioning to civilian or just beginning their military flying careers. I'd like to offer my services to any prior military that didn't fly in the service but now want to be airline pilots/professional aviators, officer or enlisted.
It can be done, I'm living proof. I've also met a lot of folks in the same boat that have also made it.
My background is I'm a retired Marine MSgt now flying as an FO for Comair in the RJ. I only have a two year degree and I didn't have an aviation related MOS in the Corps. I know of at least two other retired enlisted folks at Comair, one a Navy Senior Chief and the other a Marine Master Gunnery Sergeant. I recently had the priviledge of flying with a Capt the other day that was a former Marine Corporal. I know of at least one other former enlisted Marine flying as an FO for Comair. I know of at least two former nonpilot officers that are now airline pilots. One here at Comair and another one at ACA. I'm sure there are many more examples elsewhere.
If you need advice/guidance on how to start on this path or how to finish the journey, drop me a line and I'll do what I can.
Anybody else out there with a similar background that can help?
