So to answer one of the posts he has been to the Military Recruiting center and we have talked to the Military representative at the Aviation Expo. We got the impression that if you are not a perfect specimen your chances are pretty slim. As for the journey he realizes he'll have to put his time in and is prepared for it. The issue still is how to get where he wants as there are so many options. We appreciate the comments so far. Leaning towards the Mount Royal option and the money we save on residence we can put towards more flying time as this seems to be critical. We did have an interesting conversation with a Woman who did Commercial Pilot testing with Transport Canada and has been flying for 40 + years. She mentioned that it was fine to learn to fly what she termed "Tricycle Planes" but if you really wanted to master flying, especially landings learn on a "TailDragger".
