Thats a little rough bro. Jets are no big deal. I learn the say way as this guy. Theory doesn't cut it for this guy same as me. I have flown jets and turboprops. Big deal. It isn't voodoo magic. You don't need to rebuild them in flight. CE650 Don't pick on someone who couldn't make it through accelerated ground school. Remember what I always say when someone gears up or does something dumb: "thank god it wasn't me this time."

When I flew the mighty Seminole Vessicle the fuel system perplexed me. I was worried about my checkride. I couldn't imagine the fuel transfer system. I couldn't describe how it worked to my instructor. Looking back at it I am laughing to myself how stressed I was.

I figured out how to solve the problem one day. I was working as a fueler and during my downtime I asked a mechanic how it all worked. Once I crawled into a Seminole that was going through an annual and looked at the valves and the hoses running all over it was very clear to me.

So don't sweat it military captain dude. You seem ok. Remember what Jimmy Cliff said. "You can get it if you really want" If you spend tons of time at the airport and bust your rump you will do it. Remember what life was like on your first day of basic training? Well the good ol days are back again amigo.

In my opinion just keep up the mellow approach to life. That would make you a top notch former military guy in my book. And if you go get a job for 70k outside of aviation give me a call bro because I will apply there.
