Good luck, Silje!
FA22raptero, how did you do at Aircrew Selection?
JDW,
I was convinced, CONVINCED, that I'd failed, but I actually passed and with a decent score.
I was extatic. Thanks for asking
For anyone going, the best advice I can give is:
1. Be really, really well rested. I used zzzquil (I came from the West Coast). Go for a run or something and get your brain going in the AM. The C-130's on base look amazing at dawn. [nobody wants to do the test on 3 hours of sleep]
2. The only thing that you will ever walk away from and go "wow I should have prepared better for that" is mental math. Get really, really fast at not just Speed Distance Time, but all sorts of math problem solving. Speed and accuracy.
3. I spend a lot of my time operating a skid steer and other joystick based heavy equipment (hoes, loaders etc.) at my job. These machines often bounce around as you move, but you also have to be really precise with your controls to get the job done well. I honestly felt that for the joystick portions of the test, that this was very very helpful. I think practicing something like this wouldn't be bad.
Good luck everyone!
