Started the madness today, first test tomorrow. I am keeping a pretty good continuity book that I will transfer to digits for anyone who wants it.

He's chasing badges...

When are you getting up here to start what's really important?

1. Suck a dick
2. 19 APR

But yes, SFAS is over, now I am at the beyond phase. I just had some white space in between MCCC and SFQC.

My language is French. After the Q, I will be assigned to 10th SFG in Carson.

Took the ATC Aeromedevac test first, did alright. Read the handouts, I missed a question on time for a turn around and command to wave off an aircraft in final approach.

Sling Load hands on and written is tomorrow, update to follow.

You have a guy named Romberger in your class? If so, how is he doing?

Got 'em. He is still standing. Don't know how he did today. I can ask tomorrow.

I'm still hanging in there, True Blue, about an 88% average.

I could have gone to Pathfinder, but I got hurt. The next time I could have gone I got deployed to war straight out of the course. I was a medic with the Pathfinder school, so I figure I can wear the badge anyway.

1. If the Space Olympics had a badge, I'd be there
2. Give me a ring when your "location" is actually true

DZ is one part I believe.

Bri- is MCCC part of the pipeline? They briefed me it was. So I guess I'll put Q when I get up there. On your next jump I'd like you to route your static line through the long continuous portion of your chin strap.
