However, military people know hard training programs and will more than apply themselves to make up for it. On the mil playground, you’re constantly reminded that if you don’t cut the mustard, you’re gone — whether that’s actually true or not is up for debate. Here, nobody will be throwing that in your face, but you’ll still think it and be fine. Just because you may not know a Jepp plate or what a ramp frequency is for doesn’t mean you won’t do just fine.
Agree absolutely in principal; but you may find yourself presented with a Jepp approach plate or star in an interview. There’s some great videos on Jeopesens site; worth looking over if you get a chance…
