I think I had 47 hours of total time logged to get my private. The more frequently you fly, the fewer hours you will require training. The minimum required is 20 hrs dual + 20 hrs solo = 40 hrs total. People who drag it out over a year or two usually require many more hours of expensive plane rental and instruction fees.

Once you start, fly as much as possible, as often as possible. The Navy has time based requals for a lot of pilot quals even for high time pilots.
Aviation skills are perishable.
That said, I think Glen wants to get comfortable in the aircraft as a co-pilot. I think you should get your PPL, Glenn. Your Dad would be proud!
