Flight School update

So the suspense continues, kind of. I saw the flight surgeon yesterday and he requested an "exception to policy" for my incredibly poor hearing; so it is not 100% sure that we stay but it is "highly likely". I will know for sure within three months. He did give me a temporary Up-slip that will allow me to begin SERE school this coming monday (goodbye kind world) and even fly until the exception is approved. The way I see it, the more money they dump into me with training the more likely it is that I will stay.
So thanks a ton for all the prayers and support.
Enjoy this teaser picture of what lies ahead...
It looks it will be the end of march when I get to see the inside a cockit.
Love you guys,
Tel

  1. Really, Tel? Did you absolutely HAVE to post a picture? It was hard enough thinking you were going to torture school for a month when it was vague - pictures make it a little too real.

    Too bad you are already out there and you won't read this until you have already endured it all.

  2. The crazy part is that then they have to swear an oath that they won't describe to anyone what happened in detail. So we won't even get to hear any "good" stories!

    I felt the same way. Before he showed me all the pictures I was definitely feeling better about things!
