HSM Pilot
I just want to get away from the country club like feeling I have at my FBO and the feeling that I have everyone over my shoulder watching to see if I am gonna to mess up (I have a flying job at the airport). I know there are expectations to meet in the Navy, I just hope the things that get under my skin about civilian flying aren't as numerous.
Keep hoping.
Be prepared to be under the microscope. Every aspect of your flying will be continually evaluated and critiqued. I have never been very sensitive about criticism, but I will be honest and say the first 13 flights were tough for me. At the end of every flight you will have a debrief and you will be graded. Plus, you will be quizzed in the plane.
Most of the instructors are awesome, but they are still not going to tolerate a defensive or pouty attitude from a student.
