Go for it ! Follow you heart and your dreams - these old grizzlys on here will try and install the realities in you with great vigour and pleasure ! Most of them didn't come up the civvy ladder anyway. It is tough and the road is seemingly never ending. Take a 3 to 5 year plan to be realistic if you're a working class minion, like myself. I never get bored in a heli, the noise, the vibration, the sheer danger and that thrilling little corner of my mind which is always ready for the donkey's demise ! Good luck !
