graduated API last Friday,
helicopter hoist in the bay was absolutely awesome, the altitude chamber was pretty cool too, i got really hypoxic at 25,000 ft with no oxygen, it's great! i'm home right now in new port nowhere, going back to p-cola this weds, and then it's off to NAS Corpus Christi, TX over the weekend and I start flying the T-34C.
... maybe...

all academic tests are done, just the cool stuff left,
this week we do the altitude chamber, they take us up to like 20,000 ft and then we remove our oxygen masks and get hypoxic, then they film us doing all kinds of crazy shit without enough oxygen, and we all go laugh at it later
we also do bay-ops.. they dump us in Escambia...

I didn't get to do the altitude chamber
I have seen video of my friends doing it though - too funny
I did ejection seat training today and got drug around in a fake parachute - that was pleasent
I hope that you have lots of fun - cause as an Army chick - I am scared of all this Air Force stuff. When is your first flight?? Mine is tomorrow
Kisses

Hmmm - that sounds scary. I was overwhelmed with the amount of steps just to eject from the Tutor.....I hope that the Hawk and Harvard will be easier training. Maybe that is why I am a Medic - not meant to be up in the skies that often.
I hope you have lots of fun with your flights - I am sure you look better in a flight suit than I - I would rather be in my combats
Kisses

I met the Blue Angels - great guys, however I met them when they came to the funeral of the Snowbird that was killed back in December. They flew up to our base in the Hurc with the Thunderbirds.
I go for my seat check tomorrow

Love the new pictures!! I am an Army medic on a Canadian NATO flight school base, so I get to see students fly each and every day. We only have Hawks, Harvards and Tutors on the base though

im glad to hear your doing so good in school. you better start feeling better soon mr. last summer i cant even remember what i did. obviously nothing exciting. im gonna try to make this summer worth remembering though. love the new pics. and remember. commercial airline pilots arent as hot as navy pilots. except, they were once in the military. so im not sure how that works.
I have a cold... I never get sick, but some how I managed to get a god damned cold. I hate being sick, and having to do all kinds of swimming in full flight gear with helmet/boots/survival vests etc... is not fun while sick.
98 on the aerodynamics exam, aviation weather exam is tomorrow morning, so hopefully I'll do good on that one too
Today...

I'll see it only if I can watch it with you.
me, on selflessness and altruism....
Selflessness and altruistic behavior are fallacies... They simply do not exist. Every action, no matter how seemingly altruistic, is motivated in some part by selfishness. This selfishness may be on the subsonscious level, but it is there nonetheless.
People would of course respond to this by trying to point out counterexamples... allow me...
