New life In Oklahoma

Things are going well here. I'm in Oklahoma now till July doing KC-135 PIQ (Pilot Initial Qualification). It's basically graduate level training so it's super laid back, nothing like what I had to do in Del Rio, but the exceptions are pretty high. Right now, I just have to show up for classes and various times and then I'm on my own to get my studying done. The first of many tests went pretty well but the a much tougher one is on it's way. My first week I was taking full advantage laid back atmosphere but now I've realized there is still a ton of work to do so I've been hitting the books pretty hard. This plane has so many redundancies as well as very intricate systems.

Two weeks ago my old housemate from Del Rio who lives in San Antonio now, along with some of my friends here, met up with me in Dallas for a proper 25th birthday celebration. It was a solid weekend, one of the best birthday's I've had.

That's all for now, I just got back from a simulator from 11pm till 1am, talk about the swing shift!
