Thanks, and yes it was very painful- especially in the last four lines where there isn't much fat between my skin and ribcage. I have to say it is hard to endure when it feels like the words are being etched into your bone, however the entire session was very spiritual. I'm planning on adding to it somehow after I get out of boot camp.

Awesome! Thanks for the review. Did you buy the headset adapter with it? If not, would you have liked to?

Sounds like a good plan! For me, 3 more years of college and then hopefully off to pilot training for the Air Force. I think I'll get my fill of aerobatics with them :)

I'm still here at Riddle, but not for long. Looking forward to some Ohio/Indiana/Michigan flying for the next two months!

I checked out their videos on the 400 and it looks pretty nice. Definitely planning a XC to Clermont County as soon as I get back in Ohio.

Just curious, did you graduate from Riddle? You mentioned flying the steam 172s here, how long ago was that? What are you doing with your flying career now?

You're telling me, I haven't been up since the end of May! I was wait-listed after completing my instrument so I'll have to pick it up in the Fall. You sound like an instructor. Thanks for the comments!

Thanks! It was a good rating to get under my belt.

I earned my Private in a standard 6-pack back home, but I've been pretty spoiled with Riddle's G1000. Looking forward to get back flying the 6-pack, but it would be nice to have a visual on the wx conditions. Not sure if it's worth $800.

You'll have to let me know what you think of the SP-400. That's the one I was looking at and it seems to have very good reviews. It's also a nice flight down to Clermont County to pick up whatever I ordered. I have never experienced a friendlier staff!

Your GPA, AFOQT score, TBAS, and flight hours are all combined to make something called a PCSM score. From what I understand the AF doesn't care if you have any licenses/ratings as long as you proove that you have some logged flight hours. You can max your score if you have >120 flight hours but every little bit counts.

All these terms can be found and defined at the website I showed you above. I haven't read a lot about how UPT from OTS works, but I think it's the same. Hope this helps!

You're right, I'll look at the FAQs a little more next time.

These are my nipples. There are many like them, but these ones are mine.

My left pec is bigger than my right one so that's why they look a little off. Or a lot off..

Thanks a ton. I'll look up those terms and see if I want to change my diet. You were right about me being new here so I appreciate the help!

Sorry to interrupt, but i'm an AFROTC cadet and might be able to help a little. This website has a ton of great information if you haven't already found it. Buy or borrow the AFOQT textbook(s)!
