Blogging Through Flight School

[MonsieurAviation]

Just started a blog to kinda chronicle my way through flight school to help anyone out who may be thinking about going, interested in going, or just curious. Feel free to ask me any questions either on here or on the blog. I am gonna be busy, but I will try and make time to answer some questions.

Your post makes it sound as if you have the market cornered on flight school "expertise."

Sounds like he's in possession of the Lead Ensign Turnover Binder.

Ed Rush? Is that you?

OK, "Good Gouge" for the newly arriving Ensign I can take. A self proclaimed, all-knowing flight school expert, I guess we'll see . . .

Day 126: Just got ass handed to me by IP in cockpit on C420x. Damn them off wing flights.

You probably won't find the humor in what I posted above but those in Primary or further will get a chuckle I hope...

Don't bust his balls too hard... This website started as what was pretty much a primitive blog...

As crazy as it sounds, that's the first thing I thought of.

However:

(A concept lost on most WTIs, I know. )

Not bad. I can see this being useful to someone just starting out. I tried keeping a personal journal about flight school but I can never keep it going.

Wheels are just too mainstream man. I thought it might be more enjoyable in narrative form, and hopefully you guys can find some humor in the mistakes I am making as they happen.

Honestly, there are only two kinds of people that will read that blog. 1) IPs you want to find out who you are and make fun of you or 2) Those who haven't been there and don't have any idea what the you're talking about. Either way, you won't have an audience for very long.

Fight the power, man.

Good luck with the blog, hopefully you can keep it up to date. I suspect you'll find that your blogging time will be overshadowed by your studying time once you hit API/Primary, but the more good, current gouge you can spread, the better.

I tried the same thing for my family and friends who kept asking/calling everyday for stories. I ran out of steam on this 3 weeks into primary...what with every post sounding like "I suck, but I look awesome in a flight suit, hey check out these cool government issued aviators"...wish you better luck on this endeavor of yours.

Shoot, why don't you just start a blog for me too? Today's sim: CPT-0. Complete asses and elbows. Shiny new lights on glare shield confuse me. Shiny new glass displays confuse me. Sim instructor is sympathetic, allows me to continue in program.

At least it's good to be back in the COD world.
