Hey, Capt...I fly with another Acquisitions dude...A Capt. we got from LA AFB, space acquisitions. He's an MC-130P Pilot now, callsign "Sputnik", due to the space weenie background. ;-) He's a good stick, so we forgave his past (sort of).
I've been hitting up Sierra already. I used to be Army Guard out of Fresno, and drove past Castle on my way to the Fresno base from my home in the Bay Area. Sierra used to run the Korean Air program up here at my home field of Livermore (KLVK), but they folded up shop.
Sierra hasn't gotten back to me. Still waiting to hear from someone. The new Post 9/11 GI Bill is becoming a problem for many schools that previously took it, so not too many of them have decent answers to my specific questions. The BAH isn't much of a player in the Central Valley...better to max out the flying in minimum time than to drag it out to get the BAH in an area that pays crappy.
I wish there was one in my area, as our BAH here is well into the 2K range. I fly out of Moffett Field, and I am a full timer. If ANYBODY hears of a school here in the Bay that has promise to these ends, PLEASE remember to drop me a line and let me know. I'll compensate you with gratuitous amounts of beer and/or scotch. ;-)

) is not willing to accept your private pilot cert in lieu of their private pilot classes. So, you're going to waste at least a semester of your benefits re-learning what you already know, if you already have your private pilot.
) and am going to Portland Community College / Hillsboro Aviation. They have a great program there, I have met a couple of vets who are already working as flight instructors. Great training in real IFR wx. I would love to live in southern california, as would my wife who has family in Mexico. Sometime relocation sucks ( I am in Virginia at the moment), however in this industry it seems that relocation is quite regular for most pilots. Just my two cents, as little help as it may be.
