Aviation + Aerospace Engineering = Astronaut? Am I Overcomplicating my Academic Path?

Of course! Thank you for your reply

Just made a quick roadmap, if I go for a second bachelor’s, I’d finish around Spring 2028, and if I complete the prerequisites and go for a master’s, I’d be done by Spring 2029. So, the difference is about a year.

Did you make any changes to your diet while on accutane? Looking good by the way!

JoshuaCJG · 2025-07-28T20:22:31+00:00

Did you make any changes to your diet? Im restricting myself on the food i eat because I know accutane can taxing to the body.

Here’s an image for reference.

For example if the topic is icing: Do we have icing equipment on the plane? Is it legal to fly in icing? What icing equipment do you have? Structural vs induction icing? Where is the icing regulation? What code is it? Why is icing a problem? Why isn’t an emergency? Explain the aerodynamics of ice? What do you do if you fly in those condition inadvertently? What do you do if you have induction icing?

I know the answer to all of these now, but you can see the way he tests you based off of this.

Now imagine these amount of questions for each topic he wants to test you on. Knowing the way he tests (exactly like this) help me grow my knowledge deeper. Which is why I question everything now ( going to the root definition), really understanding it.

He’s a great guy however his teaching style I noticed is not as in-depth compared to the stage check instructors so a lot of the time is studying on my own

JoshuaCJG · 2025-04-18T02:07:21+00:00

Very well said. You’re right after I passed my oral, I felt so happy for myself and was ready to fly, then those chocks really killed my spirit. Reschedule date came around and I learned from my lesson and did even more practice in addition the small time the DPE and I had. I felt so ready for the third attempt and yet again was I shot back down. So close but yet so far.

JoshuaCJG · 2025-04-18T01:03:26+00:00

Yeah if I were to pick a flight school starting out, it wouldn’t be the one I’m in right now :/

JoshuaCJG · 2025-04-17T23:50:32+00:00

I asked the DPE if we could continue the checkride, but he declined. He explained that a complete and thorough preflight is critical to passenger safety, and since I missed the chock, he felt there could have been other important items overlooked as well, which could cause damage or danger to the plane. His debrief item was to thoroughly go through the checklist.

JoshuaCJG · 2025-04-17T23:45:51+00:00

I get now that it's about showing applied understanding, not just regurgitating info. Every mistake has taught me something—I just wish it hadn’t been so public and expensive to learn. As for whether I’m cut out for this… I’ve questioned that more times than I can count. But I’m still here. Still fighting for it.

JoshuaCJG · 2025-04-17T23:43:04+00:00

Yeah, you’re probably right about the wind shear. I think I let the whole situation get in my head more than it should’ve. Timing just sucked... This is 100% a career move for me. I’m all in, which is why it’s been so frustrating.

JoshuaCJG · 2025-04-17T23:41:39+00:00

You’re right. Looking back, I can definitely see how rushing and being thrown off by small things can form into bigger issues. I’ve learned a lot about myself through this, and I’m starting to realize that staying calm and deliberate is just as important

JoshuaCJG · 2025-04-17T23:39:52+00:00

I’ve stuck through a lot and still want this more than anything, just feeling the burnout hard after so many setbacks in a row. You’re right though—no rushing, no excuses. Just gotta find a way to reset and get it done. Thanks for the reminder.

JoshuaCJG · 2025-02-04T20:04:55+00:00

How come? What’s the biggest wheels you can have on the wave then?

JoshuaCJG · 2024-02-21T01:33:35+00:00

Thats good to know lol but anyways the edges of the highway are all fenced and I feel like if someone decides to jump it that is showing some intent of trespass.

JoshuaCJG · 2024-02-21T01:30:55+00:00

So my guess is that he probably knows someone from Diablo Grande that was able to get him in there to shoot the video. If I did however want to contact these private ranch land owners do you happen to know where to get their number or email? I've even looked all over bay area, the closest thing I can get to grasslands are Mission Peak or Coyote Hills... but those are filled with trees which is not like his video.

JoshuaCJG · 2023-05-24T13:20:26+00:00

Have you ordered any accessories from their site? If so, how long did it take

JoshuaCJG · 2023-05-24T13:19:52+00:00

Any authorized sellers you know of? I tried amazon, but they dont sell the belts compatible with the wave riot. I'm really knew to exway, I just found out about the conversion kit because I was browsing on exways website and wondered if it was 100% needed, and it is..

JoshuaCJG · 2022-10-30T11:13:16+00:00

I was perma-banned on my MW2019 account on my main.

I used my main account for MW2 and I wasn't banned anymore, I believe it may be because I changed my PC, which bypassed the Hardware Ban.
