Ok I know it has been like 3 months since I have updated this thing, but I am bored so I guess I will do it. I am now at Laughlin AFB in Del Rio, TX for pilot training. I start next week and I can't wait. My neck hurts from looking up at the planes all day long. I am living in a duplex with another guy in my class. We have an awesome place. ( Read more... )

Another 85 degree sunny beautiful Friday in Cali. Another day with nothing to do but enjoy the weather. So I went into work today for the 8am meeting that didn't happen. My boss had me make like 100 copies of a newsletter and put them in people's files, then I was done working for the day. It's sick how much I get paid to do absolutely nothing ( Read more... )

Wow, well I haven't updated this in a really long time. Lots of stuff has been going on. I am still in Cali. I figured since I was done with Intro Pilot Training that I would have to start going to work every day and actually earning my money...Wrong...Wrong. My first job was to help organize a golf tourney. That wasn't too hard. I had to ( Read more... )

I am so pumped right now! I passed my final checkride today and now I am a certified Private Pilot! I can't even explain how much weight has been lifted off my shoulders. It was intense.

I stepped on a homeless person while pissing in an alley tonight... Oops.

Well I had a good weekend. Thursday I went and saw Hitch with Jessica. Friday I went to Jessica's house and watched movies. Saturday Jessica came here and watched movies....notice a trend here? ;) Friday I flew my long cross country solo flight. It was delayed for 2 days because of the winds, but I finally got it done. I should be finished ( Read more... )

Saturday night, a bunch of us went to see Fighter Pilot at the IMAX theater in Sacramento. That was my first time at an IMAX. You could tell that much of the "documentary" was set up or fake, but it was still pretty awesome. I can't wait to go to Texas and start flying the T-6 now. After the movie, we went to dinner and then to the Limelight ( Read more... )

Well tonight was fun, even though plans changed like 18 times. Jessica came over and we went to the movie theater to see Hitch, which the internet said played at 9:20pm. Well we got there around 9:10 and the lady said the movie started at 8:45, so that idea was scrapped. So, we went to Starbucks instead, which by the way, was my first time at ( Read more... )

Tonight was so much fun. Dan Walton and I met some girls at a house party we were at Saturday night and they invited us to go line dancing with them tonight at this bar. We got there and 5 minutes later I was on a table trying to do the dance that was going on. I am sure I looked like a complete idiot up there, but I don't care, I was having fun ( Read more... )
