Don't fail events.
My own anecdotal evidence says that those who put the time in to give a crap and study, did just fine. If you're concerned about pink sheets now, you're probably not the type of guy to do dumb stuff that would warrant them.
Or the contrary, he's the type of guy paranoid enough to avoid doing stupid shit.
Dumb ones I've seen/heard about:
1) Flipping off an O-6 driving around town in a fit of road rage
2) Busting the liberty radius, lying about it, and getting caught
3) Showing up over 231lb (it's a hard limit for the ejection seat, you can't tape out of it like you can for the BCA)
4) Failing the APIT
Don't do dumb stuff drunk, don't be an asshole, and study and you will be fine.

5. Lying about one's age on the APIT to pass and getting caught. I couldn't believe that one when I heard it..
Dumb, and in a place like Pensacola, should probably be addressed by the command, but a pink sheet? Seems like there's so many other tools in the tool box to address the issue.
Is that the PT test? Does age matter now? If it is the PT test, in the past everyone had to run it in the 17-19 timeframe. I personally didn't and don't agree with that, so nice to know they may have changed it.
Yeah, it's the schoolhouse's acronym for the PRT + Chip trail. Age matters now, so the guy said he was in a higher age bracket in order to pass. I actually met a guy there who was a 31 year old SNA (prior E) who got like a super age waiver from some Admiral. He was smiling on PRT day, only having to run like a 14:00 1.5 or something.
Don't be dumb or an asshole and don't suck. The only pink sheets I ever got were in the plane ("I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you saying don't cycle the gear over the sound of the gear cycling." Oops). Getting pink sheets for administrivia is easily avoided by anyone who even slightly gives a shit.
Hmmmmm. I mean, that was pretty much my (and everyone else's) flight school career. If we got away with the shit we did, you can to. And if you fuck up, be honest and own it. If you're a good dude someone will go to bat for you and you'll survive.
Just don't be "that guy" and everyone will be fine.

Thank you all.
Yeah I meant more don't be that guy, don't worry there's still plenty of shenanigans that goes on at Seville/Wild Gregs/Florabama on the weekends.
Let some other idiots be the ones who get drunk and poach birds in a wildlife refuge (then call from jail to phone muster with the Navy), or run a plane out of gas and crash it into a mall in Pensacola (sober), or get drunk and attack Disney mascots, or get drunk and steal a guitar from the bar band in some other city, or get drunk and crash your motorcyle, or...

Moral of the story is be a happy drunk.

30-34 age run is a 13+45 for a GL, thank you very much
One more PRT and I will be up into the 14+08 (35-39 bracket) run. That is basically walking.
Why run? The bike is the best thing ever!30-34 age run is a 13+45 for a GL, thank you very much
