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.

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.

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.
