lol...how'd that feel?
honestly, the 'fuge is hands down the worst time of my entire life. It ROYALLY SUCKS. It's NOTHING like pulling G's in the plane so don't let it scare ya.

What's so bad about the 'fuge?
Nausea, that's what's bad. On deceleration, I felt like I was tumbling forward at a rate of 60 rpm. Granted, I hadn't pulled g's in an aircraft in 4 years when I went through it, but the spatial disorientation left me with a 'fuge hangover for the rest of the day.
If you do it, just go home and sleep it off.

My ankles hurt a bitch for a day or two afterwards, but other than that, I came out fine... no nausea or anything. After a minute or two of spinning, you don't feel like you're spinning anymore... and the deceleration isn't that bad... just feels like you did a dizzy bat race.
I did the Hornet Profile, and the 5 G's in the fuge hurt MUCH (!!!!!!) worse than 7 in the T45.
7.5 in the fuge is just plain painful. My ankles really hurt. When it first started spinning I thought there was probably about a 50% chance I was going ot puke. Maybe 60%
Thankfully I didn't.

I don't know about then, but now it is a 7.5 for the last 2 profiles.

7.5 g on puke has to make it splat REAL good.
Another good thing for E2C2. No 'fuge.

the centrifuge definitely sucked. The main reason was because our admin nco got us the worst possible intinerary out to Lemoore. We spent 12 hours traveling for a 4 hours trip...both ways. Anyway it was pretty cool to see what my resting g tolerance was. I guess having borderline high blood pressure is a good thing. (6.7g's resting before getting tunnel vision. in case you were wondering)
Oh BTW: It was funny to see both of the Marine NFO's at the class puke their guts out.
