This portion of systems discusses the Electrical, Fuel, Propulsion (engine), Environmental, Canopy and Ejection systems. Some interesting stuff, I doubt this test will be too bad so even though we don't spend a lot of time on it, it should go well enough on Friday when we test. Tomorrow I think we get back in the Sim for our 2nd introduction instruction, should be similar to the last where we mainly go over the systems we'll be testing on to get a slightly better idea how they work. Before that though we have an "early" class at 730 - of course this won't be anything near early when we start flying but we've been pretty fortunate thus far and most our class times have been between 830 and 930.
On Friday we have to take a PT test, should be the only one we do while we here so it's fine to get it out of the way I guess - I'll probably just take it easy and not try to be a gym class hero that day. Afterwards we have to wear service dress and attend/run the graduation for class 08-13 (we being 09-13 or the 13th class to graduate in 2009). It will be a long day but I think our schedule ends around 3 so that's not too bad if we can actually get back around then. A day like friday makes me feel like I'm back in the active duty as I'll be wearing 3 possibly 4 different Air Force Uniforms that day - Woah
I've felt bad about my lack of picture-taking so here's just a couple pictures I've snapped with the phone. The first is the Oxygen tank where I told you we practiced the oxygen mask techniques at altitude along with a rapid decompression. The 2nd is just a pic of the UTD'd - the basic sims we can use to practice our checklists and stuff. Au revoir!
