most scared I have ever been all at one time." Bush has seven more years comntitted to the Navy which he thinks will be spent in California. But he says that he is having, " ... the time of mylife. It's not quite like the Top Gun movie, but the people and the job makeitgreat. If I could have it mywayafter mytime is up, I'd love to keep flying jets with the avy in a reserve of an aggressor squadron and have a more family friendly job for the weekdays. But the government is trying to make our lives better, so who knows in seven years from now this might still be the best thing going for me." Bush credits part of his success in the Navy to his Pi Kappa Phi experience. "Pi Kappa Phi taught me how to be confident in myself, whether I am working alone or with groups. I learned how to motivate and lead what is basically a voluntary group of men ... so I would have to say that my leadership skills were developed during my experience with Pi Kappa Phi." The life lessons Bush learned while an undergraduate member, particularly while serving as Archon, left a lasting impression and molded him into the man he is today. "I not only had an awesome social experience with fraternity life, but I also learned skills that cannot be taught in the classroom. And those skills have lasted way beyond the college book knowledge and are so much more applicable in today's world. I definitely believe that mylife was guided in a more positive and productive manner than had I not joined Pi Kappa Phi." When grounded, Bush likes to spend time skiing, boating, camping, hiking, traveling abroad and working on his hotrod Mustang. !J.
