Comm Systems near completion
Its a nice thing to be able to say. I’ll be finishing my final fault today and studying for my COMM SYS comp test that I should be taking tomorrow. The next section is radar and from what I’ve heard, its all downhill from there! Only two more months MAX of ET ‘A’ and I’ll be out of this place!
I think I mentioned before that I had found a few backups of old posts and stuff, I’ll be posting them here with their original dates (as to not confuse people), and I’ll link to them to make it easier to figure out which posts are original and which posts are new.
I finally got the official word that my leave chit was approved, so I’ll be flying from ORD (O’Hare International) to HPN (White Plains) Thursday night, taking the Metro-North (Hudson line) to the Poughkeepsie stop and then taking a cab to the school. Hopefully this trip will go somewhere near as smooth as I just said it would, but my new flight definitely beats the old one I had booked (an 8 hour layover at Reagan International in Washington D.C.) so I can only think things will continue on that path.
WSC-3 is done
I thank whichever God it was, whether it be muhammad or Buddha or God God. WSC-3 was the worst thing I’ve ever gone through, and the lab was horrible. I passed my post with a 75% and my final fault with a 80 (I didn’t secure properly, forgot to shut off the RF power). I never thought I’d ever think to the capacity that not only my brain, but my whole body was in pain. The next module is COMM Systems, and the minute I walked in there I was asked a few questions about web development (funny where you meet people). The military and civilian instructor seem to be a few levels above complete drones so hopefully it wont be that bad in lab.
Jess is leaving really early Sunday morning, so I’m expecting to fly home Friday afternoon so I can spend a little bit more time with her and see her off safely. As usual I’ll be leaving Sunday, later in the evening. I’m still trying to buy a fucking car, which the whole process of has proven to be an entire joke so far. You’d think that in this industry, and the state that its in, people wouldn’t really consider credit as something to be based off of as much as they would consider how constant and guaranteed your pay is (ie., military). But its all good, I’m sure somewhere someone is going to be willing to give me a fucking loan…hopefully.
