Default Initial Training Help

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I was inquiring about traing for a rotorcraft license. Initially for a
private license and eventually going commercial. I'm a former flight
paramedic and wanted to get into the pilot seat, however the pilots I
work with have all received their training in the military so for a
civilian like me they arent much help other than a great resource..

I was wondering about anyones thoughts or ideas on receiving training.
Do the Mom n Pop shops provide adequate training and experience? or
would I receive more/better from a larger company? I know mostly it
depends on me.
Would it be better or helop any to obtain my private pilot license 1st
then "convert" to the rotary? Has anyone had experience with this
process?

Any and all thoughts and/or ideas would be greatly appreciated..!
Thanks in advance..

Chris
