Motivation dropping due to scheduling blues

There's a back up in the FRS for me as well right now. I'm sure one of these days I'll be doing 2-3 events a day, every day, and I'll be wishing I had some free time. I'm just trying to enjoy my down time right now.

Back to being on top of the world in sunny P'cola. And when I fly again, I'm going to be the Grand Master Iron Chef Power Ranger of ELP Stalls and departing radio calls. P'Cola departure is going to worship my nuts at how studied up I am on those calls. Preeetty sure they'll divert traffic out of the way of the awesomeness wake.

And always keep in mind your civilian buddies with 9-5 (7-6 in reality) jobs who get 10 days off per year. You've already had as much time off in 1 month as they get in 2 years. In fact, I bet I had just as many days off in flight school as a corporate worker bee has in their whole career.
 
This is some entertaining stuff! AllYourBass, all this is good advice. It's like the internet version of hanging out in the ready room. If people are giving you shit, you are part of the club. On the day to day stuff just keep studying your ass off. Be ready for every event. Don't worry about what you can't control...life in the Navy will be a lot easier if you believe this. Fly Navy.
 
The best thing to do in this situation (BTDT at Milton myself) is to snag as much OFT time as you can. That means Friday and Saturday night most of the time, when no one else wants to be there.
 
Or go out and party with your friends. Seriously. For all the free time you have, the Navy will get it back from you eventually. Typically during your fleet tour towards the end. And deployment.

Finally, Ignore that crap about "suck it up, shut up, there are a hundred other guys that would give their left nut to be where you are" Who gives a F about what they would do...YOU got there not them. Darwin, you exceeded them in one or more areas and that is why YOU are there and not them. Life is not run by people who want it more, it is run by those who DO it more. Just be one who DOES it more!

ssnspoon, your opinion is valid, that is with the exception of the last paragraph, which is condescending bullshit. Others who have just as valid opinions as yours... are Not Crap opinions simply because you don't like them, or their style. Opinions are just that, opinions. I trust that the OP is smart and mature enough to take from various styles of advice, draw on, and be motivated by those that suit him best, not just yours. Get off your angry horse!:rolleyes:

Well this corporate guy gets 30 days off per year :D

To the OP, this is what I always told my guys, take advantage of the times when you have lots of time off, because just around the corner is a time when you will be working your ass off for who knows how long.
