Army Sgt. Charles E. Verax, an engineer with Joint Task Force Guantanamo's 525th Military Police Battalion, right, shakes hand with Dale Williamson, a Federal Aviation Administration designated examiner, after completing all requirements and obtaining his helicopter pilot's license in Denton, Texas, Sept. 19, 2009. Determined to fly helicopters, Verax has made continuous steps toward his goal, such as learning to fly remote control helicopters, getting surgery to fix his vision and taking lessons to get his Federal Aviation Administration helicopter pilot's license. His goal finally became reality in late September when Verax passed the FAA oral and practical exams, officially becoming a helicopter pilot.
