I would like to take this opportunity to explain to all interested parties, my sudden and seemingly permanent request to have my information removed from J.C. As you all may be aware, I requested that Doug remove all of my prior posts, as I was hanging up my wings. First let me explain my career change:
I made the decision to remove myself not from aviation, but (temporarily) from a career as a F/W pilot. I had to step back and take a long look at the industry, my background, My personal goals, and my family situation. After doing this I realized that I was closer to my goal of flying than I had previously thought. I made the final decision to trade in my wings for rotors, and pursue (initially) a career as a Helicopter Pilot. With my military time, I have quite a bit more usable hours toward my ratings, and employment.
I have made a lot of arguments for going to Ari-Ben Aviator, and I stand behind them, but, there had been other comments that I have made that I was not very proud of. In fact, I was embarrased that I allowed myself to "lose" it like that, so I asked that they be removed. I continue to stand behind Aviator as a great school to train at, and would still be going there today had I not shifted focus.
My main priority is employment in the Aviation Field as a pilot. Once that goal is acheived, I will refine my focus to include that of a fixed wing career.
I did not mean to offend anyone on this forum, and I apologize for those things I did say to offend. I did not think that my decision to forgo a "free-ride" from the VA would be looked at as a sane decision, and I did not think (for some reason) that a rotary career would be something to be proud of, and continue posting here. Turns out I was wrong (again), and I am proud of my decision. I tried out a couple of helicopter forums, but kept finding myself lurking back at J.C.
Please understand that my intent was not to "ruin" J.C. for anyone else, but the statute of limitations had run out, and I couldn't delete the posts myself.
Thanks to all who understand, and for those who don't, well maybe someday you will...This is just a means to an end for me.
Sincerely,
CMARTIN
