Hi, C. J.:
Nice to hear from you.....since you are a student at SIUC, please come by and see me in my office any time and I will be glad to visit with you in detail about your aviation career plans.
The bottom line is that I have some contacts for you at Bell Helicopters who might be able to give you some good career advice....also, I have an idea on helicopter flight training that might be of help to you.
Looking forward to meeting with you,
