So I've been in pilot training...

...for, well, what seems like forever now. We've taken some pretty cool pictures throughout the process. You'll find more at the parasailing link, too. More to come as he progresses.

After Columbus AFB in MS, we headed to Naval Air Station Pensacola, FL. Here is most of my API (Aviation Preflight Indoctrination) class aboard the Oriskany (formerly the USS Oriskany). She was sunk two weeks later in the Gulf of Mexico to become the largest manmade reef in the world.

Hey, that's me!

Not to be outdone by the Aggies that were posing, I had to support my alma mater, too (and if you look closely you'll see a miniature Texas flag on his uniform beneath the US Flag on his left sleeve).
