How to get your Pilots license for FREE as a veteran!!! 

Don't use the term "steam gauges" as the correct term is analog gauges. It is analog instruments versus digital instruments.

The biggest issue though is guys need to be careful about what claims they file with the VA. It can come back to bite you and you may have to get a special issuance, a statement of demonstrated ability (SODA), or get denied all together. It's an unfortunate reality that with aviation you're only one medical away from a career change. Good information brother, keep them coming!

mans really educating people while flying a plane, shouts out to you bro, 13F army here. cheers

Excellent information! Unfortunately, I got discharge 51 years ago from the Air Force. Paid out of pocket for my private while I was in. But it was cheap by comparison to today's costs! And my buddy owned the plane and was a CFI. More savings. And our GI Bill was pretty good back then. Best wishes on an aviation career!! I did not pursue mine, as no one, I mean no one was hiring pilots back in the mid '70s. Love the helmet! Practical, as well!

Great information dude! Keep up the great work. 👏🏾👌🏾

alright, you got me at free as a veteran. only a few seconds in, but looking forward to the content. oh, keep that white fluffy stuff with you Brother.

Thank you for your service!

Thanks for the info man

You should see if there’s space for a tube to carry that heated air back to your seat, unless that breaks some rule with certified aircraft

Great video keep posting !

USAF vet here. I was in from 80 - 83. When I was in we had VEAP. Where you contributed one dollar and the government kicked in $2. Practically a non existent GI Bill.

So awesome was thinking of just do the same. Thanks

Fighter pilot mode *ENGAGED* ... I am using this on my check ride. thanks!

I’m not sure about other states but in Wisconsin, I was given the post 911 GI bill and the Wisconsin GI bill. I know some people think they have exhausted their benefits, you might have more than you think

Awesome brother

Hey brother, thanks for posting this video. I’ve been active duty for the last 8 and half years and now ready to move onto the 1st CivDiv 😂 So what I got from your video is that you recommend going to a traditional college first to get the PPL then transfer to a different school to get the other certifications? What I read online is that GI Bill and VR&E won’t cover the PPL portion. Does that mean go do the traditional college route first? Thanks again.

I didn’t know you could get your private as a veteran. I got into this loophole saying I got to get my private first 🤦‍♂️ so glad that got cleared up

I used the G.I. Bill to get my commercial, CFI, CFII,

So when you went to school were you required to get an associates or bachelors degree while pursuing your ratings? Or did you use the Post 9/11 GI Bill for just the ratings? Im looking at separating from the Air Force next year after 11 years but I already have a Bachelors Degree. So I would like to avoid having to start another one if I can.

I guess since I am a veteran from the 80's I am out of luck here. The VEAP was a joke. I am paying out of pocket for part 61, and it's shockingly expensive.

Great video . Aircrew going from MEB and my question is “ is it best to apply for first class now or wait until I get my ratings to see if hay special issuances ill need ?”

Im about to retire with 20 years in. I already have my degree via TA, and want to use my GI bill for private pilot. I was always told the GI bill would only cover upgrades to the license after already having a PPL. If I understand you correctly, I have to find a college that offers a PPL as part of their curriculum? Does the flying cost extra or is it part of the tuition? I dont want to earn another degree .. Just wanna fly.

You gotta bring back the sniper podcast

I’m active duty and trying to start my PPL. I don’t want to wait until I get out to go to a Part 141 school full-time. If get my PPL before I get out, I’ll have a head star and I’ll use my GI bill for the rest of my training. Do you know of any way I can cut costs since I’ll be paying out of pocket?

Hey Brother, It has been my dream to get my license and possibly even do this as a career. BUT! I can not find a collage around Virginia that says they include privet pilots license, some programs say they do offer it but I have to pay for it myself, everyone that I have called has told me so far that I have to pay for that on my own. HOW do I find a collage that will let you do what you have done with the GI Bill? I am determined and want to do this.

army vet here curious about a job as a small aircraft trips or events or logistics for good money

So if I already have a bachelors degree I’m screwed?

Does this apply if you are still in the Ari National Guard / Army national guard?

I know a vet that wants me to train him. Can he use the grant to train with me part 61 ?

Did you get CFI rated while at KSU?

What type of helmet with adapted head phones is that??

My GI Bill is used up. I have over 10%, will the VRE cover private pilot certificate?

I asked Liberty University but to start the program they are asking for my PPL and them start. 😢

Huh... can't get the VA to pay for my PPL... been paying out of pocket.

Are you able to get your commercial pilot license with a VA disability rating?

It seems very dangerous to have a radio just flopping around the cockpit... For me, I would want a different camera position and not just pointed at you. The view out the sides were nice though. Sorry, Just my opinion. Take care, Be safe.

You trying to put bazookas on your piper lol

Are you playing fighter pilot or bush pilot today? Lmao loose the goofy ass helmet buddy other than that good video

have you considered being an AG pilot? great video

Did you get CFI rated while at KSU?
