Step 1

So passed my "pre-check" today.
It was a really good flight and I flew with our assistant flight commander who is a really good dude. Tomorrow is this wingman day thing, we do some group PT stuff and then there's a picnic in the afternoon, kinda strange but gets us the day off which is fine by me.
This means I'll be doing my checkride on Thursday. I'm still worried based on how the last few rides went but today made me feel like there's a chance I could actually do things well enough to pass. My area work (stalls, aerobatics, etc.) was basically awesome and the pattern stuff (landings, breakouts, etc) were safe and decent enough. 
I'll be spending tomorrow looking over some of the general knowledge type stuff I need to know for the checkride. It's an extremely aggravating process - and according to my Dad I'll be dealing with them the rest of the time I decide to fly military/commercial. EXCELLENT.
