I spent 10 years enlisted (sheet metal/boom operator) and thought that I would destroy the non-priors when I walked into UPT, I was wrong! Flying an aircraft is harder than it looks. The quote mentioned above is right on point. UPT is a place where you can't ###### around. The competition is fierce and no one gives a ###### about what you did before.... Do your best and hope the cards line up in your favor!
