CFI or charter airline?

Springer subtlety slipped a name in there with a fascinating story, if you didn’t notice. I had the honor of hearing Dale Stovall (HH-53 pilot that flew the rescue) tell us about Locher’s rescue at a squadron function many moons ago. Glad he was able to get home and go to UPT with you. Here’s a quick synopsis. Legends!

Locher & Stovall story is one of the great ones.  Never met B/G Stovall but many years later found out he married a lady that was in my small high school senior class. Six degrees of separation.  Stovall went on to fly for Fed Ex.

@ViperMan Valid points again, but devils advocate is using that logic he goes into WAY more debt early in life, betting on the premise his hypothetical future wife and/or kids will need his GI bill for a degree. I know how well my “in 20 years this is where my life will be” thoughts worked out - probably similar to everyone else! The hypothetical scenario is certainly realistic, but is it worth the gamble and taking on a shitload of debt right now? I don’t think there’s a right answer, but it is a large point to consider. Also depends on one’s view of college in general or what they think their future kids are “entitled to.” Some of us max out 529s and encourage our kids to go to college, some of us think college is mostly a for max profit bullshit scheme and useless outside of specific career tracks where it’s a hard requirement. If one is in the latter group, who cares about saving the GI Bill for kids.
