Hobbies During Primary

[bunk22]

Most squadrons, to including training squadrons, have a robust ground safety program. You'll need to file an ORM chit/sheet through the CoC to ensure they know you've ORMd your desired possibly dangerous activities. I know it sounds like a PITA, but it will give the saftey office an opportunity in "counsel" you on the possibilities of outcomes should you get hurt during training.

On a side note, I had a fellow RAG mate break his femur doing stunt parachuting. He was med down for 6 months and was the SIM bitch. He was so ready to get back into the syllabus and complete the RAG when his time was up.

This and just be careful, don't hurt yourself....better off to get wings first. I started doing Judo again at the FRS and cracked two ribs, down for a while, then hurt my back, down for a while. Just saying

And while I did just wake up from a little afternoon snooze, it took me a solid 15 seconds to realize you both have the same user name... or at least it appeared that way in my hazy eyed stuper.

Nope, two individual birds/dudes. One is e6bflyr ... the other ea6bflyr! I had them mixed up for several years.

Hey, I flew into Dubuque one time. I spcifically remember because I mispronounced it like 10 times on Chicago Center.

Good times.

If you have time for hobbies, you're not partying enough.

Seriously though, don't get broken doing stupid shit on the weekends. You might be an awesome off road biker, but the Navy won't give care beyond healthcare if things to sideways. Gotta think of the bigger picture mate. Stay safe.

I don't know about hobbies but you'll have plenty of time to change that outstanding avatar of yours.

Yeah, partying every weekend is not a health risk and never gets Navy personnel in trouble.

Just joking, I know what you mean and you're right. The sport is inherently dangerous - but so is surfing, rock climbing, scuba diving, flying, and microwaving my lunch in a plastic container.

Several of my students dirt biked etc on days they were on standby and on weekends. With time to train ranging from 8-14 months now depending on squadron, aircraft and weather delays, you'll have plenty of free time.

8-14 for primary? Holy hell

Yeah that surprised me also. I thought I would be cruisin' around Texas in a T-44 nine months from now.

He just left Whiting though, so I'm sure that's accurate.

Fixed that for you. Best of luck!

Some squadrons are less retarded when it comes to managing their IPs and student loading... But T-6 Mx issues extended the time to train in pretty much all phases.
