Let me first say this is a long time coming.
If you don't know, Nick wanted to be a pilot back when we were dating.
In fact he took a whole month of leave to study for the Pilot test.
I talked him out of it.
I didn't want him to go into the Army.
He wanted to fly Apache helicopters or Black Hawks.
don't those look CREEPY!
I just kept saying "Black Hawk DOWN!" That is the name of the movie!
so... he stopped his application
Here we are five years later.
Nick has since had flight lessons,
taken his tests 2 times,
studied his booty off.
(literally i think it fell off at one point)
and applied.
The board was cancelled.
He applied again...
our last chance due to age limitations
(yes he is old)
and...
HE MADE IT!
Not only for Officer in general but his DREAM JOB a PILOT in the US AIR FORCE!
He is so cute.
He told me that he thinks NFL players are jealous of him.
He said he is more happy than he would be if he found out he was going to be a famous actor.
Later he said, "Britt, this is what little kids say they want to be when they grow up, and i am actually doing it!"
:)
I am so proud of him.
Now when he tells our children to dream big, to shoot for the stars he has nothing to be ashamed of.
He DID IT!
He dreamed big, he did everything he could do, he gave it to God.
He is a pilot!
