Erm...
 
Okay so I'm still a bit behind.  A bit meaning truckloads.  Well here's the story.  This morning we have the spin for our checksim, the most important graded event thus far in nav school.  Tomorrow we have the actual checksim.  That by itself is worth something like 25% of the graded measures of this phase.  The check flight was worth 25%, the rest of the graded measures combined (about 15 or something) are worth 25%, and the academic tests are worth 25%.  On top of all that comes a flight commander ranking which you can't really plan on, but those are the hard numbers.
 
So anyway, after tomorrow, I'll be done with the Fundamentals of Navigation (FN) phase completely, apparently the hardest phase in Nav school.
 
We then have Thursday and Friday off, and I'll be using at least part of that four day weekend to update this blog.  A truckload of mushy stuff, and a huge recap of the nav school events of late.
