[OT] -- Dr. Appt Thurs...
All, I wanted to ask for your thoughts/prayers since I have a rather important Dr's appointment tomorrow.
The reason I ask what I normally wouldn't ask for is because this appointment determines if I have to have surgery before graduation. If I do, I have to have it fast...since it is a minimum of 6 weeks before I can be cleared to fly, and I start pilot training on 14 June 02 (graduation is 29 May 02).
Thanks,
Dave :cheers:

Rainman,
You'll be just fine. As a USAF vet and former corpsman, I can tell you that you're in good hands. Any chance of flying the new F-22 Raptor or will you have to slum it and poke holes in the sky with that ancient F-15 Eagle. Man, what I wouldn't give.....
Good luck...and keep the faith.

Thanks all! I am scheduled for surgery on 7 May, and it should not impact my pilot training date...I'm just going to take it real easy the last 3 weeks of school.
Well, there's a good chance of flying the F-22, if I decide to (and have the marks to) go for it...but I'm rather interested in another "old clunker"...
