Taking my Comm/Inst ride

Wow, after nearly 2 years of working on both my Commercial and Instrument, I finaly got signed off to take both today, and filled out the FAA-8710. I have the Instrument oral Thurs, and ride on Friday, and the Commercial Oral Monday, with the Complex ride tuesday, and the C-152 ride on Wednesday. I'm very nervous, but am trying to study. I'm worried I'm going to forget some things. Just as an FYI, this is how my school's 141 program is structured; we take both rides at the end. Looking forward to my first pay check as a pilot, it may be a few months 'till I get my CFI. Hope I do well!

LOL.... What can I say our department spends a lot of money! No, seriously I only had a few pictures to choose from. They didn't have a pic of a Bell 407!

So...... can you tell us which Dept? Or is it top secret? Will I find it listed in the ALEA directory?
