Congrats dude - how far off from winging?

Thanks gents, it was by far the coolest thing I have ever done in my life, hands down. We spent the night on the boat, and I actually got seasick for the first time in my life. Coffee and breakfast didn't help before the AM brief, and I was about to puke after spending an hour on deck holding until the SAR helo got its gas (I was in L3 so I was just breathing their exhaust the whole time)......but as soon as I got that first cat shot, I was screaming like a little girl......biggest adrenaline rush I've had. Anyway I have 22 flights left (ACM and a multiplane onavs/low levels). My class is ahead and they are slowing folks down, so we won't wing until April unfortunately.
