More on exit options

thanks for the heads up LJdrvr...

btw i haven't had the time to see if anyone has given a plug for baseops.net for mil jobs, so i'll be glad to do it.....
www.baseops.net

and www.aptap.org has info on their board for guys or gals interested in guard/reserve flying jobs.

mostly air guard jobs on the baseops.net board, but those interested in ARNG jobs or USAR jobs feel free to contact me. I can give you the contacts up at OSAA and USARC Aviation. I'll be retiring from the Army in 6 months so that frees up at least one AGR slot.

well, not the worst first post, but gotta start somewhere. Too many boards, not enough time.

Hey guys,
Thanks so much for the advice and pm's. I sure appreciate it.

I have been very fortunate to land a job working for a coastal engineering company as a marine biologist. The pay is kinda low (comparable to a regional!) but it's the job I've been looking for. So, this is going to take me further out of the cockpit and probably end my flying days for good. I will miss flying some, but I'm very excited about marine biology and coastal management, so I don't have any regrets about my decision to get out and go into a different field.

At any rate, I wish all of you the best of luck that are in the flying business and hope you upgrade quickly. I'll be listening for your name as the Captain on my next vacation!

See ya,
Mike

Congratulations Mike!

Doing something you love is what it's all about dude. If you ever miss flying, keep in mind there ought to be a way to combine you biology career with a little bit of part 91 corporate aviating. (Convincing your employer they need to buy a piston single if the mission would be complimented by the addition of an airplane.)

Best of Luck!
