Phase II end of week 2

I just realized I haven't kept this thing up to date at all. Over the past week I've flown 4 more times. The first 3 on meds that completely eliminated any nausea. Its amazing how much progress you make in an hour. In the first 6 flights training is focused on basic traffic pattern procedures/radio calls and situations that can result from improper inputs (stalls). I have to add a stipulation for guys who are about to start flight school: flying is ridiculously amazing. Banking/pulling Gs around the pattern and feeling the extra weight in your pants as your G suit tightens up takes your breath away. But having a million factors continuously changing around you, having to maintain SA (situational awareness) on them, and always being evaluated on your ability to adjust to and control those factors... not so much. I've been pretty horrible the first flights but leaps and bounds are made every time. Jarrell (who is 6 weeks ahead) says that all of a sudden things just start clicking, and before you know it you don't even think, just enjoy the flight, so we'll have to see... We also had an academic test this week and 3 guys failed, not because the test was harder, but probably because they didn't put the time in for it. Some days you might have the test, a flight, a sim, standups, and an EP to prepare for so you have to pick and choose. We also keep messing up our boldface/ops limits so each day we've had to turn in 7.
I puked again today on my first flight off the meds, so I'll have to go back to the Doc monday morning. I can throw up 2 more flights, then I'll start hooking rides (recieving a U or unsatisfactory). I'm not sure how many I can hook, but you never want to hook a ride. Its pretty useless to get frustrated over my performance or puking (even though thats my first instinct), and who doesn't like a good challenge. What good is something that you don't have to fight for. So in that respect this is pretty fun, and we're already getting used to the pace, good week overall, two thumbs up.
