TSA will pay for the Jepps, SOP, GOM and your brass.

You pay $20/mo for your uniform, but they give you $20/mo for dry cleaning, so it kinda works out.

Your manuals are given to you about 3 or 4 days into class, and your systems book is given to you when you start the systems class, about 10 days into it.

Pace yourself. Dont memorize systems when you're trying to work on indoc, or general operating subjects. It's not a race.

When you get your SOP though, memorize section 3 like the back of your hand. It's memory items (26) and limitations
