I prefer Mary-Ann :)

Best of luck to the OP. Let us know how is goes and how you solved it.

Great opening scene from "The Great Santini" with Robert Duvall. "Chow down on me Hogs".

Yeah, I don't know, but I gotta assume that was the inspiration for the prank...

The other practice was to glue a cat food label to a can of tuna....You get the picture....

Thanks for all of your advice guys!

I should be having another lesson soon, this time in a Cessna 172, so I will see how I go. Its good to know that others have had this issue, and that they've managed to overcome it.

Nausea

Ginger has been found effective in multiple studies for treating nausea caused by seasickness, morning sickness and chemotherapy,[10] though ginger was not found superior over a placebo for pre-emptively treating post-operative nausea. Ginger is a safe remedy for nausea relief during pregnancy.[11] Ginger as a remedy for motion sickness is still a debated issue. The television program Mythbusters performed an experiment using one of their staff who suffered from severe motion sickness. The staff member was placed in a moving device which, without treatment, produced severe nausea. Multiple treatments were administered. None, with the exception of the ginger and the two most common drugs, were successful. The staff member preferred the ginger due to lack of side effects. Several studies over the last 20 years were inconclusive with some studies in favor of the herb and some not.[12][13] A common thread in these studies is the lack of sufficient participants to yield statistical proof. Another issue is the lack of a known chemical pathway for the supposed relief.

Ok Gingers out....Jeannie!!!!!

Dramamine works great.

RAAF experience
 

I did my RAAF pilots course in the late seventies. One candidate on the course suffered motion sickness at Point Cook. They tried to "de-sensitize" him by putting him in a revolving chair until he threw up everyday for 2 weeks. After that he went out on a training op and threw up again. He was gone the next day.

Maybe things have changed. Maybe you won't be so affected when you get to training. Just give it your best shot when you get the opportunity. Have a back up plan though. Not so easy to get a pilot slot in the RAAF. Even harder to get a fighter slot. However, its worth every effort. Good Luck.

I ate ginger snapes, took ginger pills and drank ginger ale. I pretty much threw up straight ginger on my flights. 15 years later I still don't touch the stuff. Makes me ill just thinking about it. Non-drowsy Dramamine got me through the rough parts until my inner ear adjusted. Most people will adjust after repetition. I threw up on my PPL initial flying, T-3s and T-37s. The non-drowsy Dramamine saved the day.

My father-in-law has horrible motion sickness but he found relief in those wrist bands with the pressure point button. He swears on them and fishes on the ocean with minimal motion sickness. He used to violently ralph all over the place the entire fishing trip. Might want to check it out. But I swear by non-drowsy Dramamine.
