That's pretty much the news of the last few days, and one hell of a weight off my shoulders. Better yet it's good through May 2006, so that's a long time before I'll even have to hassle with it again. No worries about having to find another job, and no worries about getting rolled back. I should be with my class to stay barring unusual circumstances. This next week is going to be a good test for a lot of people, we have our first few sims as well as some computer ground missions, everything is getting a lot more in depth in a hurry. Tomorrow morning we have our checklist class in the mock up instrument room that lets you run through everything that you'll find on your panel for the sims and flights. Last Friday we had our most involved ground mission yet, for which we had to do the entire chart, flight plan, and fuel plan on our own at home before coming in to class. I was pretty close with the numbers and am very satisfied with how I've progressed thus far. Ecah time they add something new I catch on pretty quickly, and spend most of the repetition time making sure everything else is engrained in my brain. Sadly we still aren't really getting a feel of what day to day life as a nav will be like, because after this phase we learn about systems to replace most of the by hand procedures, and beyond nav school we won't be doing the majority of the radio and comm work we do here. I won't be complaining if it just keeps getting easier though.

So it's lookin like December drop and February graduation are much closer to being set in stone. But boy is that a long time away. In other random news we had our 4th monthiversary as we've dubbed them a few days ago and it's now just a little over a month until we see each other when she stops by here on the way to training. Then it'll be the weekend warrior strategy after that probably, we'll see how it goes. It certainly feels like it has been a while apart, and I guess it has.
