Got the call.....
I got the call today that I've been waiting to get for the last 4 years, 10 months, and 9 days.....from the Chief Psychiatrist of the FAA. I'm being medically certified to pursue a career as a professional pilot...what I affectionately call "Heavy Equipment Operator training"...because that's basically what it is. LOL! My immediate family already knows.
It's been a long road. And now the real work starts. HIMS program is being constructed for me by HIMS AME that will sponsor me and I have to see an agency referred therapist for 6 months. Therapy & flight training will be concurrent.
I just wanna thank a few people:
HSLD, Freight Dawg, rickair777, SkyHigh, 11Fan; Cubdriver; Diver Driver; USMCFLYR, LAFrequentflyer; ctd57; tomgoodman; Ewfflyer, HercDriver130, DYNASTY HVY, Vagabond and yes...even RedEyeAv8r.
Thanks for all the silent prayers and support!
I can't type anymore. My eyes are clouding up.
Respectfully,
Marcus

Congratulations, Marcus. I'm glad to hear of this great, long-awaited news. Yours is a story of commitment, perseverance and passion, a page from which I hope others will take in their own journey into this profession.
I'm tearing up too, but not enough to prevent me from making this thread a temporary sticky!

Well, this is fantastic news Marcus. Well done you. After reading that Apocalypse thread I was about to Google the Local Suicide Hot Line Number.
I wish you the very best my friend. Onward and upward.
Cheers.
