Hey! I'm planning on doing some jumpseat observations in my gap between PV and Maneuvers in the next week.

Our ground instructors told us that we'd be able to follow the FO/CA on a walkaround if we're in uniform and I plan on doing that. Would it be considered odd for me to travel in uniform if I haven't even completed training yet? If not, what's the best way of communicating to the crew/gate agent (other than plain language that I just want to jumpseat for training purposes)

I'd definitely like to get some experience prior to maneuvers, especially since I have a 2 week gap till then! Thanks!
