Sierra Academy.....!! Brings back alot of memories.
I instructed with the Koreans back in 02-03 before the Koreans left.
The old SAA under S. Everrett when they were still in Oakland went out of business and was sold off, I was unable to claim the money I still had in my account (under new management and stuff) back then.
Flying in the Sierra valley is one thing but actually living there is another story. The smell of cow manure (oakdale, merced, madera, etc...) brings back alot of fun memories....
My advise is just to suck it up and endure the pain, you will be miserable anyway......just do your time and get out!!

Koreans, Chinese, etc...there's a culture barrier, but at least they're smart (bookwise) you don't have to sit down and really teach them anything...
