Oakley Lover Here! Hopefully Future Employee.

Welcome aboard! Hope you land the Oakley gig once you hit your 18th.

A word of advice...once you have your PPL, go get your instrument rating as soon as you can. I can't tell you how many times I've been up and then some funky unexpected weather shows up or the marine layer rolls in while you're VFR. If I hadn't had my IR, I'd have been hosed. JFK Jr. would be alive today if he'd been instrument rated. Besides, there's no bigger adrenaline kick than nailing an ILS approach with a 300 ft. ceiling...popping thru and seeing the rabbit lights right in front of you all lined up. It's a rush.

That is my plan! I am going to hit the ground running right after my check ride. Hopefully I can get my IFR done by Spring 2014. Then I can graduate in almost 2 1/2 years!
