thats the way to think. one step at a time. OCS is a bitch physically, its tough even though you may think you are perfectly conditioned. injuries occur unexpectedly. so give it your all, but remember you want to stay healthy to finish.

I'm just in awe as to how extremes height problems can get. You where able to reach the 6' plateu, which I'd love to have, but you have an excess of 6". I'm just glad that you're on your way of getting your wings of gold.

I was NPQ'd for chronic sinusitis (I didnt have it but had to prove it), athsma (I didnt have it but had to prove it), height (I am too tall for Hornets but after buku phone calls I can still fly the helos, cool by me), and eyesight. I have 20/20 vision but, apparently I had an astygmatism in my right eye that was .25 diapter off regs. PRK fixed it so now I am faithfully hurrying up and waiting to be commissioned and appointed to TBS. Thanks for the luck. I'm Irish but in this case I need all the help I can get. Hang in there.
