T-34C NATOPs before Primary?

Memorize *BOLDFACE EP's. Also, memorize the system diagrams. Of course, time to do this is already built into the program and you would just be cheating yourself out of some quality time at the beach and on the town.
Along with what FLYTPAY said..
I read the whole systems book before Primary....it was wasted time. I spent hours reading a book w/ no lecture/discussion to supplement it, as a result didn't retain anything. Enjoy the time you have off, you'll be plenty busy in the future.

Forget about trying to learn systems before ground school....it just won't make sense when you don't have an airplane to actually look at. I tried to and learned nothing. EP's are a different story.....in my opinion the earlier the better. Boldface memorization would give you a good head start on the stuff you need to know. There is a lot of other info too, but you won't have it until you check into the wing and get your pubs. You can learn EP's in a week for the T-34, but I think you will have a better understanding all around if you allow yourself a few weeks to slowly go through everything. Hope that helps!
Don't bother.
If you're the dude who memorizes it all before you get there, the Gods of Fate will make sure you go to Vance and fly the T-6.
memorize one EP a day. nothing more. easy pace, and itll pay off a lot more than anything else.
No kidding, even memorizing EP's won't help much if you don't know what a condition lever/friction lock knob is, let alone where you'd find it if you needed to use it.
If I was just starting this is what I would do.
THIS.
If you're really motivated, you can learn the gist of the Notes/Cautions/Warnings.
I learned all the EP's before primary while I was at the beach half the time and thought it was extremely helpful. When I didn't understand what something like a "friction lock knob" was I went and found out. There is a lot to memorize and it's one less thing to worry about when you start...
