Introduction
My name is Chad Goethe. I am 32 years old and live in Belleville,
Michigan. I have always taken an
interest in aviation, however I was planning on spending 20+ years in the Army. I was not working in an aviation job in the
military, and the thought of flying for a living did not cross my mind until I
was medically retired in late 2011.
Currently, I am working toward a bachelors in Aviation
Flight Technology at Eastern Michigan University. It has been a slow, frustrating process as I
am in a weekly struggle with the FAA on getting my Medical. Each time I send them what they request, I
receive a response back asking for the exact same thing.
Aviation, for me, became a goal once I knew I was
receiving an unwanted medical retirement, and had to decide which direction I
was going. I can’t see myself working a
traditional job where I sit behind a desk everyday. My ultimate goal in aviation is to get
certifications to fly helicopters, and move on to a career flying Search and
Rescue, or fly somewhere in the Middle East for private military
contractors.
