I agree with most who say it's all attitude. I went to UPT at Webb where there was a girl behind every tree. I watched the "wings" from the class board disappear as guys who were much better than me left the program. Most couldn't adapt and wanted to do it their way.

While a newbie before even starting academics I couldn't wait to wear my new flightsuit. the problem was I hadn't been issued flight boots yet--no problem, off to the O club with flightsuit and black gum shoes (really didn't know any better). A group of 37 IP's saw me and went ape crap over it. Instead of getting upset about being laughed at I bought a round of beers for them--best three bucks I've ever spent in my life. I was placed on a table in the stag bar ( a real stag bar) and had a "hymn" sung to me. Those guys bent over backwards for me from that time on.

Moral; have fun, LISTEN, do it their way, and never ever get too full of yourself!! REDWAVE
