Troops in Iraq used what little free time they had to take a private pilot ground school class and even complete the knowledge test while stationed overseas. Military officials stationed at the Kuwait Naval Base; Joint Base Balad in Iraq; and Kirkuk, Iraq, taught private pilot ground school courses for the troops. Some went as far as becoming test administrators so that the troops could take their exams while still deployed. Navy Lt. j.g. Greg Skyles and Air Force Capt. Chris Klein-henz created a private pilot ground school class at Joint Base Balad for 25 Air Force, Army, and Navy personnel.
