I was a Huey crewchief in the Army for 3 yrs. and had all intentions of goin to school to get my A&P when I got out.Buuuut,I met a gal,got married,had a kid and so on and so forth.Anyway,I worked construction for nearly 30 yrs. and broke my back 10 yrs. ago in a work-related accident.My doctors and workmens comp kept tellin me I better change occupations or I was gonna screw-up my spinal fusion.Well,after all these years,I decided to go to school to get my A&P.I graduate in Sept.Hopefully,by the end of October,I'll have my A&P Certificate.I have no idea where I'll be after I get it,but I'm lookin' forward to a better future than what I had.Thanks guys.

I honestly think I will too.I loved it when I was in the service.My only regret is that I didn't pursue it earlier in life.Heck,maybe with me injuring my back-----it may have been a God-send.Who knows.All I know is that I'm certainly lookin' forward to it for sure.Thanks again.And I'll try to keep you posted on my progress.
