Default API Chi

As an AF guy going through Navy UPT, it was one hell of an experience. I wouldn't trade it for anything. The best advice the "AF Guys" got was during API and from a fellow AF instructor. He suspected that we "were taking the test outright" and not "playing the game." He suggested we find a Marine and combine forces. They had all the info when it came to "focusing" our studying. This proved well throughout all of the T-34 syllabus as well. Those guys were down there for OCS and then waited for months to start the flying course. Sooooooo... there was a huge bank of them waiting, a significant amount in training and some on casual waiting to continue to their follow-on. They had a "bible" at the time that they all took much pride in updating as necessary. Take it for what it's worth...

In the end, like everyone else has said, keep a positive attitude and get as much as possible out of it. Most importantly though... HAVE FUN!

cheers,
