|  Welcome Skig Skags and Scallywhops My names Sham I'm 22/m/ BFL, Cali and soon to be PPL, I have been holding off training for nearly a year due to personal issues after my Dual cross country.. I have nearly 70 hours and hope study up and finish my checkride soon after I get my finances situated. I have a supportive wife that motivates me to pursue my dream towards my aviation goals of being a Commercial Pilot. My parents are supportive parents but not towards Aviation. I have been attending UVSC online and am halfway through my bachelors in Aviation. I have been saving up by making a few bucks here and there by being a Option day trader... It's not easy... well lets say I got lucky on a few picks since my Intial investments 4 years ago. I can say that I will be able to pay for my training without taking out any debt hopefully. I couldn't have said that in Oct 2004 on my Intro flight when I had help from my parents for flight training.. I feel I'm mentally prepared to complete my training this year compared to when I started nearly 3 years ago. It gave me time to mature and lots of time to understand the industry and get a feel for aviation as a industry thanks to JetCareers forum and others alike. Favorite Aircraft: P51D Mustang (my buddies dad won a few Reno Races in the 1980's, what a beast! Favorite Sports teams: Clippers, Dodgers, and how bout dem Titans? Favorite Past times: My daughter Rania and my baby momma! Madden on Xbox 360, and making that NYSE $$'s... Favorite tv shows: Entourage, Colbert,Daily Show, Family Guy, Weeds.

|  Thanks all! I'm going to try to get er done! Thanx for the pm guys and I will be calling you Jeremy to see if you want a brew somewhere soon. Basque Bar? I had a good drunken fall a month ago (my B-day party)... which resulted in a knee injury (slight vertical tear of my meniscus) that needs some medical attention in the following weeks; so I plan on moving foward in training right when I'm able.
