What every you do, have fun
My last post on this subject.
It took me 19 years to figure this out, but I finally did. Don't judge yourself or your accomplishments based on someone elses accomplishments. Make a decision what you want out of life, adjust as the curve balls come at you, and go for it. Never take NO for an answer, there is always a way to make things happen if you really want something bad enough. It might take a few extra years, but if you want it, it is worth the wait.
I have met too many people that either got out after their first tour in the military, or quit trying to get the job they really wanted. Then 10 years later you hear them say, "You know if I would have just stuck it out I would be almost ready to retire, or I would be doing such an such."
Make a decision and stick with it, and don't ever look back and say "Boy I wish I had" or "Man, I should have."
Bottom line: If you want to fly a helo and then try to go fixed wing then try. No one is going to cut your head off for trying. Only you can decide what you want, what is good for someone might not be good for others. God made us different from each other for a reason. Just give 100% in all you do, and last but not least HAVE FUN DOING WHAT EVER YOU DO, NO MATTER HOW BAD THINGS MIGHT LOOK LIKE THEY SUCK. ALWAYS TRY TO TURN LEMONS INTO LEMONADE. ANYONE CAN PUSH A ROCK DOWN HILL(ie complain how bad they have it), BUT IT TAKE SOME REAL DETERMINATION TO PUSH A HEAVY BURDEN UPHILL(ie Work to make things better).
As my Wrestling Coach used to say: LUCK is when Preparation meets Opportunity.
So prepare yourself for Good luck and may God Bless you in all you do.
