Riddller's IFS & UPT Blog

So you are actually studying for 3 hours after training? Do you do it with other people in your flight? That sounds rough. I barely study 3 hours a week in graduate study classes.

I'm glad to here you doing so well, you earned it.

The info about the shotgun questions is great. True/False and other general questions are MUCH better than point blank, "On the 'before takeoff checklist', what is item number 8."

Thanks for the link, that was what I needed.

What is your PT schedule like now? Are still PTing on certain days? When is your next PFT?

I just signed my form 1065 contract update for Pilot instead of Officer Candidate at my Diet. :) What was your commissioning source?

Thanks and don't feel obligated to answers these questions, I know you are very busy.

Best,

Sorry it's been a few days,like you said: busy busy!

Anywho, yup lot's of studying, at least for the first 15 days. Some days I study on my own, other days guys from my class will come to my place or I'll go to theirs and we'll study. It just depends on what we're going over, what I feel like, etc...

As for PT, there's no organized PT. You're required to have like 80 hours of PT logged by the time you finish T-6's (and yes, you have to log your PT time each week). If you've got time during the day, you are allowed to go to the gym for an hour (at least my flight commander let's us, I don't know about others) but we've been so busy, I don't think anyone in my flight has gone during the day.

And I'm a ROTC grad, from the University of Kansas.

Some of the guys in my flight and I were just talking yesterday, and we realized this is the first time in MANY years that NONE of of have any idea what's going on with March Madness!! So I THINK the Jayhawks are doing well, but I really have no idea.
