Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Certificate
Accessible Aviation in Oakland is relatively new and recently started up by Carl Nuzzo out of Golden Triangle Regional in MS. I expect about the same training and planes but at least you get your cert relatively easy.

Leaving Afghanistan
I wrote a bachelors and masters paper on the history of Afghanistan. No empire or country has ever had success in the region of Afghanistan as a whole and the list is quite impressive. For Example: - Genghis Khan - The Persians - Alexander the Great - The Roman Empire - Napolean - The Russians - The U.S.

Randolph AFB info
All I did was ask if a TLF was available and reserved it. They never asked about the number of people on my orders.

Randolph AFB info
Taking the family or not? I went unaccompanied and stayed in TLF's on base so that when they came and visited, I had space.

T-38 Instructors at Beale and Whiteman
I was strictly a T-38 IP at Whiteman from 2008-2011 and as for quality of life, it was great. There were three flying periods with 0900, 1200 and 1500 take-offs and at that time and money for cross-countries. Also, I would recommend living in Warrensburg. As for manning, I can't answer that question anymore but it seemed that all the pilots fresh out of UPT flew the -38 for about 2 years after PIT before starting B-2's. Best of luck...

Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Certificate
Actual training is the bare minimum (least amount of training for money spent) but Brad, the FAA Examiner, is outstanding in respect to professionalism and fairness.

VA Loans
I didn't get my funding fee back bc we closed on our house 4 days prior to the VA declaring a disability on me. I was told that even though it was after I was seen by the Veterans Service Office and all my paperwork was done and submitted, that the VA hadn't received it yet. It all revolves around the date that the VA receives the paperwork. Out almost $10k bc of 4 days....
