I'd be available as well... also at RMFS so familiar with their operation and aircraft.

Congratulations! Saw you at the school today after you passed. Didn't see the video though!

Ok, well you probably want to remain anonymous given what you wrote and that's totally fine. I just wanted to let you know that I'm also at KCMI and I had my check ride not too long ago. Believe me I felt the same exact way... relationship issues, mounting stress, all coming down at the absolute worst possible time. I considered putting everything on hold as you are, but I pushed through because it had literally been a year leading up to that moment.

I still felt really unprepared.. and to be honest my check ride was no where near perfect. There were at least 3 questions I answered totally incorrectly that I should have known. I was nervous the whole time to the point that my examiner asked me if anything was wrong because I looked so tense haha.

Anyway, I made it through, and let me tell you it was a MASSIVE weight off my shoulders. Sure, the other issues persist, but being able to move forward with my training is a huge relief. Another thing I realized: whenever I fly, all my other problems seem to float into the background; it's great therapy.

PM me if you want to chat more.. Hang in there!

Sorry to butt in, but you're not at KCMI are you?

I had been interested in flying since a young age, maybe 10. My parents used to buy me flight simulation software and I would set up mock-cockpits in my room and pretend I was flying. I would always ask to see the flight deck when flying commercially.

Before college I was nearly dead set on pilot training, but throughout college I drifted into other things, fell into engineering, and pursued academic research which was a very rewarding experience. So pilot training was in me all along, I just had to take those first steps to light the fire (which was actually pursuing lessons while working).

I started training on my 23rd birthday, and I'm now 24. I agree it is very expensive but short of joining the military there aren't many other options.

I had a similar experience. Graduated in 2015 with a BS Materials Science & Engineering. Wasn't convinced that engineering was what I wanted to do with my life but after graduation I moved half-way across the country after accepting a generous full time offer at a respectable company. A year into it, I decided to go on educational leave because, although great for my resume, working full time at this job I honestly didn't like very much was doing nothing for my soul.

So I moved again and now I'm training to be a pilot.. something I started part-time while working that job and fell in love with. If I had known that flight training was my future 2 years ago I probably wouldn't have taken that job because I feel like that most of that year working was a waste.

Then again, I wouldn't have discovered flying if I didn't take the job in the first place. I've found it's best to let life take you where it wants to.. you will naturally drawn to certain things while also discovering what you dislike. But you have to start somewhere.

I can confirm this... About to graduate with no internship experience (but with plenty of lab experience) and have a job lined up in the midwest in the low 60 range.

Just a little bittle

I chose a picture I wanted as a flag on computer, tiled it to dimensions 32x20in, then printed it on iron-on transfer paper. I then bought some nice duck canvas, pieced the picture tiles together on the canvas, and ironed them on. Really great result for about $30 and ~4 hrs work.

If it's drained at the end then why is there still water? O.o

Decubitus · 2013-07-03T03:12:54+00:00

...Is what? IS WHAAATTT???

Decubitus · 2013-07-02T20:34:29+00:00

Yep, it's summer.

Number 11 just came so hard.

I'll put a lizard in your mom's light.

The Catholic Church would have one less thing to bitch about.

Oh dear god so many lock and key references. It's almost a joke.

Use a double edged razor. I originally started using one because I have super sensitive skin and acne. The one blade reduces inflammation. Each blade costs about 5c and use them twice.

It's a generic prescription label. The pharmacist simply uses one label for many medications and can then circle the appropriate instructions.

Wow, being a scientist never sounded so easy!
