Ok, when my son was in High School he wanted to be a pilot.\nHe started by getting in the High School Jr ROTC (Navy for four years and the Civil Air Patrol (an Air Force Auxillary) for students 13-21 yrs of age. I was also in the Civil Air Patrol and the commander of the cadet program. It is a wonderful program and so many opportunities and scholarship available. It is military and aerospace in nature. You study and take tests to move up in rank. It is a mini-form of the Air force training academies even with there own boot camp. My son was in it 8 year and he got to be an exchange student to Japan for 3 weeks all expenses paid. And he got a scholarship to the Army ROTC at the University of Nevada Reno for four years. \n\nHe applied for Pilot and went through rigorous testing and physicals. He passed but did not get a pilots slot with the Army at the time since they were trying to fill there quota with women. So he decided on Transportation Field. He is serving in Iraq.\n\nIf you want military training to be a pilot you have to join the military and serve (8 year for pilots). The training is free and so it is a good way to go. If you are sure you do not want the military but still want to be a pilot like commercial pilot or small craft pilot there are other options.\n\nThe best one is a College I highly Recommend. It is located in Florida and Arizona. It is Embrey Riddle Aeronautical University. We toured the Arizona campus in Prescott. It was fabulous. They even have ROTC (Army and Air Force). I was very impressed and wish my son would have gone there. But he wanted to take the Army scholarship.\nAt E.R.U they told us after you get in later you can apply for all kinds of scholarships. The Tuition is not cheap and the first year you must live on campus but you can work to pay for it. This college is all aeronautics, pilots, mechanics, flight crew etc.\nYou get lots of emphasis on math, science and everything on flying. They give you are well rounded education but they keep it to the aerospace mostly. \nI was so empressed. They teach you to fly airplanes right there and you go out early each morning with an instructor to fly. They have their own field and runway. It is a huge campus. Please check into this one and get there catalog or look online. If you want to be a pilot they will teach you to be the best and they even hook you up with top of the line job offers from the private sect.\nYou can make big money.\n\nRemeber to be a Military Pilot you need Very Good Eyes. Otherwise they can eliminate you immediately. Call a recruiter and they can tell you the sight requirments. Also get your grades up. They look at your academics and wont take a risk to train someone who can not learn. It costs lot of money to train a pilot so they have to make sure you are a good student.\n\nThe Naval Academy and Air Force Academy is quite difficult to get into. You need top notch grades, and be well-rounded (music, sports, politics, activities, school clubs and much more). They only want the best of the best. I would say you need to be ranked in the top 10% of your high school or college class.\n\nDont be discouraged. I do not know your age but if you are chosing a college, please check out Embray Riddle. If you can get in, it will change your life, guaranteed.\n\nAnd remember as long as you are under 21, you can join Civil Air Patrol in your area (they are all over the US) and it can change your life too. I highly recommend it. My son excelled because of this program.\n\nDont ever give up the DREAM to be a pilot. There are many rewards and they are always looking for women.

<former Marine, and if you join remember to take every scholastic advancement they offer, you will want it when you get out, no matter what MOS you have.  Free school rocks!!!  I can't comment on the housing contractor side, however, I'm also a former carpenter:P.  \nForget this question, let's just hook up<3.

Hey, \n\nI've received a diploma from them in Police/Security Sciences last year.  I wouldn't say it's a waste of time.  They are very co-operative and helpful.  The course was a little 'too-easy' but the resources you get are great and you get to keep them all, which makes the cost of the course a little more resonable.\n\nFeel free to contact me for more info.  \n\nMatt \nmatthewpenkala@yahoo.ca

My University has mentors that you can ask for in your field of service.  I suggest finding this mentorship program and request a person w/that degree.  They'll help you out with the different options.  Also, what in fine arts are you concentrating on?  Painting, Dance, photography, drama, art history?  There's always work for teachers in these areas.

If you want to stay in San Antonio then perhaps you should look else where for your training. It does not matter what military branch you join you will have to go off to basic training as well as to the school you have chosen. So if that is a major problem and you can't overcome it you might try a local community college, correspondence school, Devry or some other local school that offer the training you are interested in.\n\nIf staying in San Antonio is not a major problem and you can overcome it that is fine.  \n\nAll miltiary branches have their own missions to perform, so it is not a matter of which is the better.  \n\nWhat matters is which one provide you what you are seeking. First of all everyone that goes into the military has to take a test called the ASVAB.  All military services give the test and you only have to take it one time it is good for all the  services.  Take the test, you are not obligated nor is there a charge to take the test. The test will give each branch an idea of what career fields you are qualified to enter.  Once you have taken the test call and set up an appointment for each service. The one that you took the test for will tell you your score for their service, the others will have to convert them that is why you must call and make an appointment so as to give them time to convert the scores, normally this take one day.\n\nSit down with each service listen very careful to what each say about guarantees, assignments, schools and and where you might be stationed after school as well as other things of interest to you. While at your appointment ask about the reserves of the service you are speaking with.  You should write down questions you want answered before making your appointments.  \n\nOnce you have completed all of your training and if you are assinged a post within the United States you may find a place to live close to the military installation and then get your daughter, but you will need some type of sitter if there is no child care on base to sit your child for when you have to work and other duties, the military is not like a civilian position, at times you are required to perform other duties after your regular job is done. A child is not excuse to get out of this duty, you will be expected to perform no matter the personal problems you might have.\n  \nI hope this has been of some help to you, good luck.\n\n"FIGHT ON"

You might want to look at hslda.org.  It has a lot of info on home schooling as well as a list home school academies in your area.  Also check out the book "A Thomas Jefferson Education."  You can find it at www.gwc.edu in the bookstore section.  It is a must read for anyone who home schools (or anyone else for that matter).

I know the military offers a "Troops to Teachers" program.  Talk to the military office that deals with military folks about to wrap up their service, they should know.  Good luck!

The few officers I know went to Northeastern State University.  If you think your interested in a career in law enforcement I suggest going thru the Tulsa Citizens Police Academy (CPA).   \nThe Tulsa Police Department offers a Citizens Police Academy (CPA) two times a year at no cost to the participants. The CPA is designed, to develop a better understanding between citizens and their police department through education. The CPA is scheduled for 13 consecutive weeks, meeting on Tuesday evenings from 6:00 to 9:00 P.M. The Academies generally run from February to June and September to December.\n\nhttp://www.tulsapolice.org/cpa.html\n\nGood Luck

I just enrolled in the print version of the Business course there, and so far things seem to be going well. I was VERY cautious before enrolling because I didn't want to end up with a degree that wasn't worth anything. I'm still researching how respected their degrees are, but on a positive note, they are accepted by VA (Veteran's Administration) for educational benefits under the Montgomery G.I. Bill so they can't be too bad or else they wouldn't approve them.

You should log onto www.armycadets.com.   This will give you a good idea of what it is like, where they are etc.   It is a good idea to try it out in the cadets to see if you enjoy it before you join the armed forces, as there are no strings attached, and if you don't like it then you have not committed to anything big.
