  Congrats on beginning your flight training. I know an guy who did the very same thing. He retired from the fire service as a firefighter/paramedic, went through flight training, became an instructor at the school he attended, and is now flying Bell 206's in the GOM.
  
  What flight school are you training with, and in in what aircraft? I encourage you to share your training photos, video and even blog about your training experience.
  
  Oh, and welcome to RotorSpace!!
