what to expect at shuttle training?
 

Are the facilities nice.....instructors laid back.....systems laid out in a way thats easy to kearn....etc

I don't know about training, but expect low pay and low morale once you hit the line.

That was awesome!

Thought this thread was about NASA....

So, you actually quit at ASA to go to Republic!? Bwahahaha

Expect training on orbital reentry, zero gravity, basic rocket dynamics, and how to pee into a tube.

INDOC will be in Indy. It's pretty easy. Most of the info will spoon fed to you.

Systems and sims are in STL and taught by FSI. Luckily, we just flushed a ton of memorization items from the POH so you can spend more time studying systems and flows. Orals and checkrides are done by S5 checkairmen.

There are plenty of study guides floating around. I'm sure you won't have a problem getting one once you're officially in the evil empire.

I drank beer literally every day in St Louis and passed without a problem. Easiest training ever...

Is DM, ex-Piedmont guy still there?

Training isn't too bad. As mentioned, we just cut the limitations that have to be verbatum from memory in about half. The memory items are very small in number and length. Training is done well, the biggest issue you will have will not be with the FSI folks, but with the company in terms of getting travel arranged and such.

Best of luck, see you on line.
