Private Flying

You might be able to fly civilian or not. But, I warn you. Please do not take your bad habits from civilian flying into the Navy training. Flying military aircraft is much different for some reason and all the people who I have had experience with that had large amounts of prior time turned out doing very poorly in the fleet. I don't know why. And please don't be the "so this one time in my 172" guy, because it doesn't apply. Good luck....

meatball, lineup, aoa.....

What are the bad habits? Will you list a few?

I like this one better: The controller asked what kind of fuel problem do you have and the pilot replied "ah my gauges are empty."

His gauges huh?
 
I got a chuckle out of that one as well. The narrative almost conveys the panicky vibe, that I would bet, the pilot was putting out over the air waves. :)
 
I flew gliders and towed them in a single engine tailwheel while in api and primary. API/NASC never asked me about orm'ing those two activities, but primary did. I just filled out a sheet of paper saying Im a good pilot and that was it. They only have issues with people trying new stuff (skydiving, scuba, etc).

I did have some minor issues going back and forth from a very sluggish towplane and a very slow glder to a hot rod mentor. ;) I stayed away from civilian flying while in fams and then picked it back up afterwards.

In advanced we were prohibited from doing most high risk activities...skydiving and what not...just because you have done something a hundred times doesn't mean it can't kill you...
