What’s up yall my name is Joshua, I am currently AD Air Force as a crew chief for the 135s in Florida. Maintenance is an alright gig but it’s not something I’m passionate about doing in the long run. I’ve been wanting to fly since I was three years old, and I have gotten a few opportunities to fly a plane for a little bit, but life and finances got in the way. As of now, I am halfway through my bachelor’s while deployed at the moment and having all this time on my hands is making me realize why I am not pursuing my dream to being a pilot. Future goals after getting my degree is to find out how to get my PPL before commissioning, and I would like to apply to a reserve/ guard unit that flies either C-17’s or fighters. Looking forward to gaining future insight from you all!

I am 25 years old. Thank you for that advice. The biggest thing being on Active Duty (especially as a maintainer) is managing my time wisely. I’ve been doing a pretty good job keeping a work/ life balance so far but I will have to look into squeezing what I can do to start on my PPL especially after this deployment. Thank you!
