wayne rivali

U.S. Air Force Veteran

Since then, I obtained an A.S degree in Flight Operations and Management and Commercial and Flight instructor certificates. I worked mostly as a flight instructor for various schools, including a G.M. position at a major flight school. I had to give up my flying career as an old neck injury from the early 80s surfaced decades later. At its worst, I had to use a walker to get around. But two V.A. surgeries later, I am mobile again, but still severely disabled. I can't run or do tricky steps, and my legs and arms are numb. I'm just hanging on at this point as the V.A. continues to send me disability rejection letters as fast as I submit them.
