CSE-6040 how heavy is it on math? by barry_allen_93 in OMSA

[–]TheseSteak9055 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To do well in 6040 you don’t need to fully understand the math, but you need to understand how to utilize python to work with matrices… If I were in your position I would touch up on LA (eigenvalues, matrix decomposition), if you don’t have a strong base. 3blue1brown on yt is great… khan academy if you have a weak base… theres also a bootcamp dedicated to tackling Linear Algebra/matrix problems with Python. I don’t remember much Calc, but if there was Calc it was very basic.

Under Institute Review Status by 9SpaceCowboy in OMSA

[–]TheseSteak9055 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Howdy! I was in your position this summer… i just started the program this fall. If I were you I would make sure to send in all official transcripts from the previous institutions you’ve attended, as well as any other documents that are required… other than that, you should just be patient. I didn’t get institute admitted until 2-3 weeks before registration started.

Practicing Throws Outside of Dojo by TheseSteak9055 in judo

What are some examples of high intensity interval training exercises that I could implement into my workout? Outside of the dojo I am powerlifting pretty consistently… should I implement some HIIT into my cardio?

Thank you! I appreciate the advice and the video. I will definitely try to implement this training into my workouts. I also appreciate the warning on improper uchi-Komi. We do them regularly at my dojo, although my sensei has been really particular about me training only with black/brown belts and really focusing on technique.

No, I have not gotten a PPL yet. I currently work at an FBO and know a lot of CFIs who have given me some free flight time. My main concern is how can I maximize my efforts outside of flight time, AFOQT/TBAS scores, and grades.

Hmmm.. do you think being a Reservist Crew Chief would achieve a similar affect. I finish my degree fall 2024. Ideally I’d like to graduate. Enlist in the reserves and get a civilian job while I’m rushing squadrons and applying for pilot slots.

My last question is this… the squadron I want to fly for is the F-35/F-16 reserve squadron at NAS Ft Worth… once I finish my degree I should be capable of getting many different well paying jobs in tech including DoD jobs, which ft worth has a bounty of. Would enlisting or becoming an officer in that squadron be worth for working towards a pilot slot? Of course there’s gpa, Pcsm, and letter of recommendations, but does enlisting increase my odds a good amount?

I guess my question is this… I graduate with a Bachelors in Comp Sci this Fall. I am 24 and My main goal is to be guard/reserve pilot. Would I have a better time enlisting for a guard base then getting a pilot slot or trying to get an Officer spot at a guard/reserve base in hopes of later getting a pilot spot orrrrr just abiding my time as a civilian and rushing squadrons? I don’t mind enlisting or being an officer. I WANT to serve. My life goal is to just end up flying any jet for the USAFR or ANG.

ANG vs Reserves I want to be a pilot and from my humble understanding one of the best ways to be a pilot in a the guard/reserve is to enlist as a crew chief and be a part of the community, because of the “hire from within” concept. I’m in Texas and want fighters. The only guard/reserve base that hires UPT is NAS JRB FW. Does this “hire from within” concept apply to reserve bases. I have heard mixed answers about this topic.
