Phillip G. Chapman was a 29-year-old Marine Corps helicopter pilot who had flown combat missions over the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Storm. He was home from the war for less than four months, stationed at Camp Pendleton, when his Huey helicopter had a mechanical failure and crashed on Oct. " Deepening her pain: The Chapmans had a 3-year-old son, Sean. "That was the worst day of my life," said his widow, Theresa Chapman, a Marina resident who still struggles to discuss the tragedy more than two decades later. He and three other Gulf War veterans were killed. "I think I realized what had happened as soon as I looked through my peephole and saw his (commanding officer) and another member of his squadron standing outside my door. It was a routine training mission that killed him. '" she said.Source: Monterey County Herald

Hello im a freshmen in high school and I just wanted the conditions to become a pilot AH-1Z Viper as height requirements and vision.
If you attend the Academy, you select either Marine or Navy before graduation. If you choose the Navy and get a contract from the air and a pilot slot you will attend six months of fun (TBS) before going to NAS Pensacola and begin flight school.
