Isnt that the damn truth Rick... I will say that is the ONE thing I miss about military flying.... Good things happened to you because you were GOOD at what you did....not because you had been there the longest.

All I am saying is that I am not slow, maybe some people can fit working out into their schedule....I could not.

I made time to workout almost every day. It helped me stay more focused when I did study. I looked at all the material in the beginning and was very discouraged because it was so much. However, after going through everything and staying slightly ahead it wasn't bad at all. Looking back now that I understand everything it all seems easy. I think people get a little wide-eyed going in and pysch themselves out because there is a lot of information. Just stick with the schedule of training (it obviously works and gets people through) keep a good attitude, take some time away from the material and you will do fine.

When I was in UPT our days were anywhere from 10-12 hours in the flight room. Usually had a sim or flight every or nearly everyday sometimes you would get one of each or two flights. Plus academics thrown in at the beginning. then Study for an hour or two when you get home... off to bed to make another 3am show time for stand up EP's..... Friday nights ... O'club... Saturday with the wife ...sunday ..STUDY.... and start all over again for another week...ugh... 50 weeks of that.. GREAT 
bottom line..take some time for yourself....or you will explode.

STAY AWAKE AND PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS. Take notes. Put in good quality time studying, ask the questions you have even if they seem silly (somebody else will likely be wondering the same thing). If you feel you are falling behind, seek help early and often. Make some time for yourself though, and I'd highly suggest at least an hour of exercise (core, cardio, weights, etc) every other day.
If you decide to make a drinking game with your classmates out of limitations, rest requirements and Exemption 3585, that'd be fine too.
