To the Airbus guys, try to get plenty of sleep and study your Rosetta Stone Spanish lessons. You'll be spending your nights awake in bed trying to sort our Direct Law vs Alternate Law.

To the 190 guys, make sure to do your liver stretches before drinking. Bring plenty of sunscreen for those afternoons at the pool. Follow the ABCs (Always Be Cool) and you'll get through just fine.
Also a modicum of talent at the foosball and shuffleboard tables is appreciated at the lodge.

See, that's the kind of new intel we need. Back in my newhire days we didn't have any fancy 'lodge' or 'foosball and shuffleboard'! We just drank our beers at the pool like grown ups. You kids these days have it so easy

That...^^^^^^

On the 190 in training we had banker's hours, middle afternoon sims. At breakfast at the hotel it was easy to find the Bus drivers, they were the zombies falling asleep at the tables. We'd be sitting at the evening social hour at 8pm drinking the beer and eating the munchies they had while going over stuff...meanwhile the bus drivers were heading out the door to the school house for their 11 to 3am sims. Don't know how things are now with the heavy 190 training going on but 190 training was just plain fun and very relaxed.

Let's just put it this way, the whole time in training, I was waiting for the hard part... The hard part never came.

Oh crap, I've tried to repress the memories of the OPS system we used to have. That was pretty awful!
