Two big picture purposes of military flight training:

1) Throw a lot of information at group of people in a short amount of time and screen out the ones who can't perform at the desired pace (screening process).

2) Teach you how to fly (educational process).

You can get both in Turbo weenie, T-1, Texan II, or King Air syllabus.

Study smart (50 minutes on, ten minutes off, stop studying one hour prior to sleeping, 30 minutes at bare minimum).

Study in groups (someone will have the gouge).

Take Friday and Saturday off. Be ready to hit the books hard Sunday.

Have fun, make friends, fly your ass off!
Amen!!!! Just be happy you are going to get first class flight training. CBM.... Tons of SEC college football... etc... crap man... I went to willy and there were WAY to many distractions......

As for the unhappy spouse... UPT is a year of 60-70 hours weeks... at least at first.. and is stressful beyond belief... the last thing any stud needs is a spouse or significant other complaining they are not getting enough together time.....
