  Hard row to hoe. I have a friend who has the same ambition. She's
doing her Phd and is an AF C130 pilot. That will give her the minimum
qualifications to be remotely considered.

  If you can't qualify to fly for the armed services, or are not willing
to dedicate 15 years of your life to doing it, or can't cut it as a Phd,
you probablywon't make the first cut.

  I sometimes think the main things these qualifications prove is
determination...
