Today is a big day for Steve Butka.  I officially made my switch to the Marine Corps PLC program from Army ROTC.  In two months I will be taking my flight test and after I pass that and complete my summer training I will be commission a Marine Officer on my way to being an Aviator.  My ultimate goal is to become a commercial pilot and it's been my dream since I was 6 or 7 years old, and now...at the age of 21 I have finally started my journey towards that dream.

To celebrate, I've done something I rarely do-- fly a Harrier in FS2004:

Steve, Congradulations...and might I say, GOOD CHOICE!

Have you already knocked college out of the way? I've had a couple of ODOs here at the Air Station who have gone the PLC route...not too many, alot have done MECP, but we get a few PLCs, my dad went through the program back in 70', wound up doing 35 years starting out with F-4s.

Good luck, and if there is anything I can do, don't hesitate to ask.

Semper Fi.
