I am Tyler Shane Millard, a 21 year old aviation student at Eastern Michigan University. Not only am I a student of aviation, I am also a Midshipman First Class in the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps at the University of Michigan. Right now I have an air contract with the United States Marine Corps to have a shot at Naval Flight school and becoming a Naval Aviator.
I have been interested in aviation since I was old enough to remember. I come from an Air Force family and my Father always carried my passion for aviation. He would always take me to air shows, get me rides in airplanes, and when I was old enough he took me along to his flight lessons when he was working towards his private pilots license. Aviation was my life and I did everything I could to surround myself by it. Every opportunity I had I would read aviation related books, attend aviation classes, and whenever there was an aircraft in the air I would have my eyes to the sky. Not only was I impacted by aviation, but also the military. Ever since I was five years old I wanted to fly fighter aircraft for some branch of the United States Military.
Today, I am blessed to say that I am following not only my passion and dream for aviation, but also my dream of becoming a Marine Corps Pilot. I currently am a senior in college with my instrument rating, and have an air contract with the United States Marine Corps. In May of 2015 I will be commissioning as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps and will be heading down to MCB Quantico in Virginia to attend The Basic School. After completing The Basic School I will be reporting to NAS Pensacola to begin Naval Flight School. After that I hope to train to become a pilot of the F/A-18 Hornet.
In the World today there are many interesting things happening with aviation. What most interests me is aviation and the Military. The technology both new and old is a topic that is always interesting to me and is one I try and keep up to date on. Also, current events pertaining to conflict and action throughout the World is one of intrigue. I do my best to keep in tune with the problems in the World because one day it could effect me and my career in the United States Marine Corps.
Nice introduction. Good for you for keeping up with current affairs. This is important regardless of which career path you pursue, but I can see how it is of particular interest to you given how directly effected you may be in the future.
