Blogging Through Flight School

I sense what you're trying to do and I commend you for it. It reminds me of a 'brain bomb" I had 45 years ago. Underway, enroute to Yankee Station on first combat tour, I decided to keep a daily log describing all aspects of each sortie (what, where, how, with who, defenses, BDA, unusual happenings, etc.). Cumshawed a large SDO type log book, and started OK for the first ~2 weeks, though nodding off in the middle of entries became a problem. Following week, tempo ratcheted up, and started missing entries due to fatigue and workload ground & flight. Week four, a couple of sloppy entries then the log went into storage in prep for first armed invasion of the storied Cubi 'O' Club & 'Po City.
The log never again reared it's ugly head. It had become log vs my safety. The end!
I would love to have those completed log(s) today to pass down to my descendents, and could really have helped when writing the TINs & "There I was ..." stories, many year's later...BUT, c'est la 'guerre!
Monsieur Birdman, you may reach this point once you get heavy into study/flying, not to mention the occasional G &T. plus liberty. Blog too? Keep your eyes on the gold prize...
Priorities!

-1 in headwork for suggesting that someone use Craigslist to find a roommate in Pensacola.... Unless you're trying to include anthropological / socio-economic studies into your blog posts.

Comment for your blog- the sailing community in Pensacola is rather small, and not very lively. In fact, compared to places like Annapolis, Hampton Roads, Newport RI, Charleston, Key West, St Pete and even Corpus Christi or the Outer Banks of NC- it is really a dumpy spot.
As crazy as it sounds, that's the first thing I thought of.
However:
(A concept lost on most WTIs, I know.)
I may be drunk right now, but you are the smartest man on the planet.
Who else remembers those early days?
hmmm...even as an instructor, this was a famous blog. Good luck. http://bryanweatherup.com/index.shtml

I'm with NAVAIR. I'm here to help you.
How many on here even know what this means, besides Brownshoe and myself?
If I recall, they used to teach it in PR "A" school. Not a term you hear much anymore.
I also remember 'Journal of a Student Naval Aviator', which I believe was the inspiration for this site.
What did people call them before they were 'blogs'? I guess we were in on the ground floor.
This is pretty entertaining although I was expecting tales of drunken debauchery from the Florabama instead of "I moved into the most ghetto place in Pcola I could find ".
Someone already did this. http://www.airwarriors.com/community/index.php?threads/api-blog.30969/
Like all things Naval Aviation, if AW knows, all of NavAir knows. If you're cool with being "that guy", go for it.

Sure I remember what Cumshawed means. I was a good scrounger! And, man do I have stories. (Anyone looking?)
Dude, this point in your flight career should be spent living in a ridiculous condo on the beach and developing what some might call "a bit of a drinking problem." The fact that you got to the lovely Cradle of Naval Aviation and immediately set up a shop in a slum makes the rest of your advice a little suspect.
