I couldn't tell you a kata today.

It's just so far removed.

But back then, I did.

When I got back, that's right, I was a cop.

I think that's after I got back.

Yeah, it was.

Didn't you use the GI Bill to become a pilot?

I did.

I did.

I used the GI Bill to become a pilot with the idea of being an airline pilot.

And I took the courses and got my commercial in San Francisco area.

And I passed the commercial, and the only thing left was instrument and whatever else you had to do.

And...

When I was doing that, they discovered that the guy who gave me my commercial check ride had also given me a lesson at some point in the past.

And there was some kind of a conflict, and they wouldn't count my commercial test because he had given me a lesson.

So anyway, I had to wait until we got to Alaska to get it done.

And went to Alaska and signed up for this guy who's going to give me the pilot check ride.

And so I'm sitting at the airport waiting for him to get a student in front of me.

And I'm waiting for him to give the test and whatever he's doing or lesson to this student.

And I watch him take off.
