Demographics

Turns out the wives get more information sometimes than we do, but some general info about our class was finally passed down. We started class 20 Aug in phase I (academics). Phase II (flying in the T-6) starts 27 Sep. Track selection is 7 March, with graduation from flight school 5 Sept 08. Projected drops for track select: 5, T-38s fighter/bomber; 16, T-1s heavy transport; 2, T-44s for C-130s; and 1 Helo. That adds up to 24 students, 3 of which are female, with 1 international student from India. 9 are married, 4 have kids, ages range from 22 - 30, 11 Academy grads, 6 ROTC, 5 National Guard, 1 OTS, 4 prior enlisted, 6 private pilot licenses, 1 extremely ferocious Bearcat.
Today was our first real academic day, 0700-1730, not too bad. Most of the info is self taught on a computer at your own pace. Everything kind of slowed down and I got a warm fuzzy when they took us out to the aircraft and gave us a complete walk around, letting us pet it and scratch behind its ear. I'm pretty pumped.
