Congratulations man! I'm really happy to hear that. It really shows that with the right drive and focus you can find yourself in such a position.

Similar happened to me a few years ago. I left the $9/hour CSA job behind and started traveling the world moving wide body airplanes. Today I'm self employed and work with 747/777, etc, w/ the occasional 717 or 737 thrown in. I find myself working with rock bands/sports teams/politicians and foreign heads of state/ and most often and most importantly those who serve in the US military(bringing a planeload home from Afghanistan tomorrow). I really work hard at what I do, but I just can't believe how fortunate I've been.

Best of luck with it. I'm sure you'll do great!
